you're talking about the layout within columns, not the layout of the columns from left to right, right?
within columns, it would be nice if new windows were sometimes opened below the last one touched. perhaps i should always work at the bottom of a column, but i don't. zerox nearly always chooses the wrong place for the new window -- all the way at the bottom. among columns, it would be nice if the column guide box (or whatever it's called) worked like the window guide box. clicking on it should expand the column horizontally. one thing i would like to see added to acme is a win-like program implementing an analog to the sam command window. though it might require some acme(4) rework. currently it's quite painful to stop everything and do a mass edit. - erik
