As far as I understood is the problem, that the guy wishes to use all of his
screen for editing with LyX (and he cannot turn it by 90°). Two collumns
would allow you to have more text on screen at the same time.
Also, this would be a nice feature to have multiple documents open in ONE
LyX at the same time: copy and past from one doc to another is really
cumbersome in LyX:
Assuming you are in doc A and want to insert something from doc B
you have to do
Open Documents menu
Use Down/Up keys to go choose B
Press Enter to go there
Mark your text
Press ^C (or ^Ins) to copy the text
Open Documents menu
Use Down/Up keys to go choose A
Press Enter to go there
Press ^V or Shift-Ins to insert
Improvement on this is top on my LyX-wishlist. (At least a faster switching
between open documents, e.g. a-la Borland-IDE with numbered buffers and
Alt-1 ... Alt-9 switching between them....)
