I regularly work on the same file in 2 different positions  I solved this in Sublime Text 3 using origami and chain with some additional config   My workflow is Ctrl   k   2 splits the view of the file in two  horizontal  panes with the lower one active  Use Ctrl   k   o to toggle between the panes  When done ensure the lower pane is the active and press Ctrl   F4 to close the duplicated view and the pane   In sublime global settings  not origami settings   add   origami auto close empty panes   true    Add the following shortcuts       keys     ctrl k    2          command    chain         args            commands               create pane     direction    down               clone file to pane     direction    down                               keys     ctrl k    o     command    focus neighboring group

I would suggest you to use Origami  Its a great plugin for splitting the screen  For better information on keyboard short cuts install it and after restarting Sublime text open Preferences- gt Package Settings - gt  Origami - gt  Key Bindings - Default  For specific to your question I would suggest you to see the short cuts related to cloning of files in the above mentioned file

Its Shift   Alt   2 to split into 2 screens  More options are found under the menu item View -  Layout  Once the screen is split  you can open files using the shortcuts  1  Ctrl   P  From existing directories within sublime  or 2  Ctrl   O Browse directory

Yes  you can  When a file is open  click on File - gt  New View Into File  You can then drag the new tab to the other pane and view the file twice   There are several ways to create a new pane  As described in other answers  on Linux and Windows  you can use AltShift2  Option  Command  2 on OS X   which corresponds to View   Layout   Columns  2 in the menu  If you have the excellent Origami plugin installed  you can use View   Origami   Pane   Create   Right  or the CtrlK  Ctrl  chord on Windows Linux  replace Ctrl with   on OS X
