Thank you for the link, Ingo, and for the plugin itself, Dr Chip.
I tried it and basically it works. But it's done by overkill: manual window
synchronization by its own vimscript function and calling this function as a
part of every command moving the window. So every such command must be
remapped. It may conflict with other remappings, it's hard to catch
everything (for example charwise and linewise visual blocks does not work in
mpage'd windows for me) etc.
True support of synchronized windows would be much better. And we already have
something very similar if not the same - in diff mode. So the only we need is a
user interface for using that not only in diff mode but in "mpage mode" as
well. The option in question is 'scrollbind', for example we can do:
function SplitView()
:vsplit
:wincmd l
:normal L
:normal z+
:wincmd h
:windo set scrollbind
:windo set number
endfunction
After calling this function the current window is split and new window is
sync'ed with the old one. This is just the first idea, proof of the concept,
and it has limits: there is no refresh if window size changes, lines longer
than one screenline are not handled in any special way etc.
As I can imagine autocommands on windowsize changed, the main problem is to
handle display problems (like a line longer than the screenline).
Is there anyone interested to help with improving this?
