Independent Edit/Object mode in splitscreen When I split screen in two and switch Edit/Object mode, they both change.
How to change just one?
The intention here is:

use one to modelling with numkey view with transparent wireframe
and the other to see the progress in perspective, with solid mesh
Switching to Edit mode per-viewport isn't currently possible in Blender.
According to this rightclickselect.com request this probably won't be implemented in the near future, since it's &quot;fundamentally incompatible with the way Blender handles objects&quot;.
(I'd like make this a more 'proper' answer with gifs and lists, but in this case....)
