Let multiple tabs scroll continuously together. Two side by side let you see more code in context on a widescreen monitor. (Or have multiple, not limited to two).

Intellij Joined Tab Scrolling Plugin
Plugin to let several tabs of the same file scroll together, as if the editor wraps around.
Don't you wish your widescreen monitor could do wrap-around scrolling? Now it can!
Watch a longer Demo Video.
When you split IntelliJ editor tabs: scroll one window and the others automatically keep in sync. Let multiple tabs scroll continuously together. Multiple side by side let you see more code in context on a widescreen monitor.
Works well with CodeGlance for a Sublime style preview pane in the right gutter. (That's what I'm using in the demos).
