I am using TWM - Tiling Window Manager to put windows side by side properly when comparing things like that. I am using that all the time. Need to fix the shortcuts because I have to mouse around a bit too much at the moment.

I was thinking of adding windows sizing and placement icons in SystemWindow top bar. In fact I want to have a kind of SystemWindow title bar plugin system for adding all kinds of stuff there.

And then an optional bottom bar and maybe side bars... I somewhat managed to get the concept working in a prototype and realized there is quite some stuff to refactor to get things clean. Maybe this will be a feature for TWM on Pharo6.

No indeed. Single window IDEs work ok-ish on a small-screen laptop, but are terrible on modern development machines with large screens.
The idea that the IDE designer can know statically what information I need to look at to solve my code problems is in the SF/research area at the moment. I am much more productive organizing those building blocks myself (and would definitely want keyboard support for that).

Double-click selector ctrl-m suffers from being good enough.
Showing the code of the other implementations in-place does not solve your problem, which is that you want to compare the implementations. You need a dual/diff view for that.
