> He is talking about splitting a terminal, not about editing files in
different panes. Can Emacs do that? I'm asking that as a question, I know for
a fact that Vim can't but Neovim can.
Well, it depends if you want to have a terminal session in each window (read
pane). You can use emacs in a termianl session with
emacs -nw
and then split the frame (read terminal window) horizontally (as MB said)
C-x 2
or vertically (side-by-side)
C-x 3
Then you can make the newly created window a termianl session within emacs. I
assumed s/he wanted to edit code (in a terminal editor) and still have a
terminal session without having to open a new terminal window. I agree screen
or tmux are really what s/he is looking for when wanting to work with
mutliple terminals. I thought s/he may want to consider another more powerful
editor such as emacs that can achieve what s/he wants but also offer so much
more.
I also agree with your point about investing the time to learn tmux (or
screen) but would add that if one is to program a lot then they should also
invest the time to learn vim or emacs.
I'm only beginning on this path and currently investing the time to learn
emacs.
