Viewing Multiple columns in Android Studio - android-studio

Is it possible to code in two or more columns in ANDROID STUDIO at the same time?
For example: In Sublime Text 3, I can go to View>Layout>columns:2 to be able to see two open files at the same time and edit both of them. This is a Screen Shot of two columns opened in sublime text

Right click on file name at the top of the editor. And select either split vertically/horizontally to duplicate or move right/left

we can do it just by taking a Right-click on the activity to be multitasked from the activity draw displayed just above the Typing console(coding area) and choose the option "Move to Right ":

Sublime Text 3: Moving tab from one panel (column) to another

I use Sublime Text 3 in two column mode. I have several tabs open in each panel/column.
Current behavior:
(Upper part of diagram)
There are seven tabs open in the left panel. The current displayed tab is tab 2. I move tab 7 over to the right panel.
(Lower part of diagram)
Result: The tab moves over to the right panel. It's displayed in the right panel. That's fine, whatever. On the left panel, though, tab 6 is now displayed instead of tab 2.
Desired result: On the left panel, tab 2 should be displayed instead of tab 6. Is there any setting to do this?
There is no setting to do this as at build 3157. Someone wrote a plugin to handle this when closing tabs, maybe it could be adapted to work when moving tabs between groups also.

Excel text data import Step 3 select columns via keyboard on Mac

I am experiencing the following issue in Microsoft Excel for Mac 2016. When using the From Text data import function and clicking through the first two steps (selecting "Delimited" and defining delimiter), Step 3 allows for changing the column data format. By default, column 1 is selected and I can click to select any other column that fits into the window, as shown in the screenshot below. However, it seems that it is not possible to select columns that are to the right of those visible in the window. In my example below, there are about four more columns to the right. Scrolling and arrow-keys seem to not work in the Mac version.
Is there a keyboard shortcut, or some other workaround, that I am missing?
Perform a two-finger touch (not a complete tap), more like a contact. A slider bar will appear at the bottom of the columns. Now is your chance to grab it with one-finger click. If you begin with the pointer in the bottom part of the columns, it is much easier to grab the slider as it should be under the pointer. This probably works on other such windows.

In Intellij Translation Editor, how do I jump / go forward to the next item?

IntelliJ and Android Studio have a great "Translation Editor" where it shows you all the <string> entries of the strings.xml and you can add items and locales on the fly. It also shows which strings are not translated yet and offers a blank box to enter the translation
To use this rapidly, I would like to go from one string entry directly to the next without needing to switch to the mouse, hover around and double-click on the next item. It looks like this:
I think this is something any user would love. I was surprised when I couldn't make it happen. I can move to the next row via Enter but that row is then only focused, not selected and I can't type. I tried Enter again, Shift+Enter, F2 and many many many more keyboard combinations. Still no success
So: How can I either move to the next item directly or select a focused item in the Translation Editor?
My version is 14.1.4
To select a focused item press F2 (working in Translation Editor on Android Studio 2.2)

open file in new tab

Does Android Studio have the option of opening a referenced file in a new tab (like Xcode's Alt-click feature)?
If not, is there a way of creating this?
Open current editor tab in new window
Shift+F4
Even I couldn't find a way of "Duplicating Tabs". But there are two workarounds that might help:
1) Right click on a tab title and choose either Split Vertically or Split Horizontally. This can be done multiple times!
2) If for some reason you don't want to see the files side by side, there's another hack (works for me on Mac): First, right click on a tab title and choose either Split Vertically or Split Horizontally. Now, drag the extra tab (by its title) on to the title bar of Android Studio => the tab will pop out into a new window!
Hope this helps!

In PhpStorm :: tab rows reorder on click & jump on drag&drop

Handling the tabs right now is crazy !!
Often I use a split layout / workspace. Mostly I split vertically.
After a short time I have 10 tabs left, 10 tabs right
If I try to reorder a tab by dragging it, the tabs beneath it (the place I'd like to drop the tab) jump around and flicker.
If I click a tab (of a row) all rows reorder... what the * ? How to keep an overview like this.
I can't drag from one view to the other.
So my associated questions would be...
About 1. Am I doing something wrong ?
About 2. Are there some settings to disable this reordering ?
About 3. See edit
Sublime Text 2 for example does this all very naturally.
Edit
I found out that I can drag a tab from one side to another, BUT I need to drag it a little bit down first so the tab gets "loose"
There is no fix yet, these are known issues:
http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-22546
http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-84887
A workaround would be to use tabs on left/right or in single row options.
