  Why wouldn't that be possible? Each text view allows you to test focus on
the text view directly do something similar to the following for each
text_view window:

gtk_text_view_get_visible_rect (GtkTextView *text_view,
GdkRectangle *visible_rect);

and from that get an iter:

gtk_text_view_get_iter_location (GtkTextView *text_view,
 const GtkTextIter *iter,
 GdkRectangle *location);

  Which you can check against the current "insert" mark and iter obtained from:

GtkTextMark *
gtk_text_buffer_get_insert (GtkTextBuffer *buffer);

void
gtk_text_buffer_get_iter_at_mark (GtkTextBuffer *buffer,
  GtkTextIter *iter,
  GtkTextMark *mark);

  The text view with the "insert" mark would scroll on its own as you advance
the cursor (just as using a single text view would). I don't see any problem
switching between the views to control the split-view you are trying to create.

Split TextView

[Tuur Dutoit]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a simple word processor with GTK+, but I got stuck on a 
seemingly simple issue: I would like to break down the content in multiple 
pages, like Microsoft word and LibreOffice do, but I can't figure out how to do 
that. I have a few ideas, but they all sound very complicated and would require 
a lot of work.
Ideally, every page would be a TextView, all backed by 1 TextBuffer, but that 
doesn't seem to be possible (out of the box)...

How would you do this?
