Two-column view
See two columns/pages at once so more text can be seen

I like to use editors like vim and atom to view and edit multiple parts of a project at once.
It would be great to be able to do the same thing with workflowy on the desktop or web app.
Proposed workflow would be to have a keyboard shortcut that would split the current pane either vertically or horizontally into two panes.

You can just use Firefox Side View or two windows side-by-side. It's not hard to copy and paste between the two, I'd rather their bandwidth be saved for more expansive features.

Cut and Paste between panes creates new bullets which means it breaks links to those bullets. Drag and drop within the list in a single pane doesn't have that problem. Also, drag and drop is not supported between browser tabs. It would actually be awesome to be able to use multiple browser tabs in whatever configuration I wanted if drag and drop between tabs worked the same as drag and drop within a single tab.

I too would like to see this feature.
Long lists are notoriously hard to reorder.
Additionally, it would be great to do this between windows, so you could have two completely different lists.
I've thought it would be a good idea for years now, only just now looking to log it as a feature request.

Everyone; I've created a Bookmarklet that provides a poor-man's "dual view" with two iframes.
I use it to keep focus with a "Do now" list alongside all my other tasks:
Unfortunately, you can't drag between them, but you can copy paste.Additionally, each panel remembers its location for when you load the page next time!
The script and instructions to install it are here:

Honestly the browser option isn't bad except for one thing: I use browsers for so many workflows already, I want to be able to use CMD-tab to switch to Workflowy, not to one of the three browsers I have open already.
I don't want yet another browser window to have to CMD-~ through. I want to be able to use Alfred with "w" to get to my workflowy list. If workflowy product owners are of the opinion that browser is as good as desktop, why'd they release a desktop client at all? -
Luke, I'm working on something at the moment which sounds like would be really useful to you. Drop me a line here if you like and I'll fill you in:
