[I] [Feature Request]: Implement Split-View and Multi-Instance Editor Layout (Workbench style) (hop)

vitorsantos-commits opened a new issue, #6654:
URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/6654

   ### What would you like to happen?
   
   Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
   Yes. Currently, Apache Hop uses a single-tab view. When working with complex ETL processes involving multiple interdependent pipelines (as seen in my screenshot with 20+ files), it is impossible to compare logic between them or reference one while building another. Constant tab-switching is a major productivity killer.
   
   Describe the solution you'd like:
   I would like a workbench experience similar to VS Code or DBeaver, specifically:
   
   Split-Screen (Vertical/Horizontal): The ability to right-click a tab and select "Split Right" or "Split Down" to view two or more pipelines/workflows simultaneously.
   
   Multi-Instance View: The ability to open the same file in two different split windows (to view different parts of a large pipeline at the same time).
   
   Drag-and-Drop Docking: The ability to drag a tab and dock it to any side of the screen to create a custom layout.
   
   Describe alternatives you've considered:
   Currently, the only "workaround" is opening multiple instances of Hop, which is heavy on RAM, creates metadata lock issues, and is not an integrated experience.
   
   Additional Context:
   In modern data engineering, we often need to compare the "Target" step of one pipeline with the "Source" step of the next. Having them side-by-side (Split View) is a standard industry feature that Hop is currently missing.
