Hello.

I want to be able to change VirtualFile of my PsiAwareTextEditorImpl on the fly, but i can't recreate PsiAwareTextEditorComponent because it is private.
So how can I do this? I want to open different virtual files from my editor, even if the main VirtualFile stays the same.

Thank you in advance, it's very important for me.

You can't change it; every FileEditor always corresponds to a single VirtualFile. Even if you do manage to recreate PsiAwareTextEditorComponent, this won't help you because the internal state of FileEditorManager will be inconsistent.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
