..while there's no visual indication, which view the focus currently 
has, unfortunately..

Also, it would be nice to be able to split the view on the same file 
too, but I know, that would be qscintillas business <wink to Phil>..
Don't get me wrong, eric still rules my python projects, but that is 
one on of those reasons, where I find myself inside vim from time to 
time. Another is, while I want tab expansion for python scripts, in 
my Makefiles, it's a pretty bad idea :-(.
