It's not make or break, but I'd like to know if it's possible to add in a text editor as a Window in Visual Studio 2015, that I can use side-by-side with the code? There are many view windows; Properties, Output, Solution Explorer, etc., but I haven't found a text editor view window. Is there a way to do this?

1Have you tried just dragging a .txt file into it? That works for me. – Jonno Jan 04 '16 at 16:18

I've tried that, but I can't get it to drag into the program for some reason. Do you mean a regular notepad file? – Lou Jan 04 '16 at 16:33

Yes. Alternatively, you could try Ctrl + O, or Ctrl + N and choose Text File under General? I guess it might also depend on what type of project you're using, I'm just in a standard C# console application to try it. – Jonno Jan 04 '16 at 16:36

The code editing window is the/a "text editor" window.
Just open a text file and edit it like you would any other file (ie: File -> Open).
Once you have a couple files open, if you want a split view, right-click one of the tabs and choose "New Vertical (or Horizontal) Tab Group":
