I sometimes need to copy/paste text into two windows and compare the contents for a quick hack, ie. without having to save both documents to disk, and display the two docs side-by-side vertically so I can scroll them independantly (WinMerge doesn't seem to support independent scrolling.)

Since the documents only live in RAM, text editors will display a non-descript tab/filename like "Untitled1" or "New file 1":

Does someone know of a Windows editor that supports...

  • renaming tabs with more descriptive names even with documents that haven't been saved to disk,
  • side-by-side, vertical tiling, and
  • independant scrolling?

Thank you.
