Scrolling through multiple sections at once in IntelliJ IDEA

In IntelliJ IDEA, I often split tabs vertically to see multiple files at once. This can be useful when two (or more) files have the same (or similar) structure, and I want to compare them (for example, language files).

My problem is that I would like to scroll through two partitions at the same time, but I cannot figure out how (if possible). Is there a setup / plugin for this?

To compare two files in IntelliJ IDEA 14, simply select them in the Project view (hold Ctrl pressed for multi-screen selection) and select Compare Two File from the context menu. This will open the Differences Viewer window. You can also compare the file with the clipboard or the contents of the editor.

The difference viewer scrolls both files at the same time (there is a button to disable synchronization scrolling) and allows you to edit both. Differences are highlighted by word, by line or not displayed at all.
