Open sequences of the sequence file in new tabs

[kosist90]

Dear NI community,

let me, please, propose the following idea.

It would be great, if it is possible to open sequences of the sequence file in different tabs. Currently, only sequence files are opened in separate tab. But, if you need to go between sequences (or subsequences, depends how you name them) of the one sequence file (let's say, to copy-paste some steps from one sequence, to another), one has to click on the sequence in the Sequences tab, and it will be opened in the Sequence View tab, and, meanwhile, the another (previously selected) sequence is not seen. And, one has to click between them in the list there and back, and it's not possible to see two sequences one-to-one at the same time.

This is similar to MS Word feature "Open New Window", when one can see the same document but in two windows at the same time. It can increase usability of the sequence editor, and make development a little bit faster...

Thanks in advance.

Good idea. It will certainly make life easier when you want to visually compare two sequences within a sequence file or copy expressions from a step in one sequence to the other etc..

As a workaround you can open your sequence file in another instance of the sequence editor and have both windows side by side. Now you can view two sequences of the same sequence file side by side in separate windows. As a precaution, you can login as an operator in the second sequence editor to avoid inadvertently editing the sequence.
