Package: emacs-snapshot
Version: 1:20061009-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I think that a very useful feature is to show the content of a buffer
on two sides, left and right. This allows to see twice as much
information, as shown below:
line 1 | line N+1
line 2 | line N+2
... | ...
line N | line N+N
Other changes needed: Page down scrolls by 2*N lines. Down arrow on
line N moves the cursor to line N+1. And so on.
The majority of viewers lack this feature, yet in my opinion this
feature augments considerably the human-machine interface.
Wouldn't be very useful such a feature in emacs? Unfortunately, I do
not know much of emacs internals...
Cheers,
Eugen Dedu

It would, and it exists: do C-x 3 to split the display, then do
M-x follow-mode.
Scrolling should do the right thing.
Feel free to close this bug if the feature suits you...
Sorry to have bothered you...
It's wonderful! I'll tell it to my students too!
