I see in :help 'columns':
Vim limits the number of columns to
what fits on the screen. You can use this command to get the widest
window possible:
:set columns=9999
Minimum value is 12, maximum value is 10000.
This is all well and good...except that I have two screens side by side. So I
can manually drag the window to extend across multiple monitors, which sets
'columns' to a new value. However I cannot extend the Vim window across
multiple screens using "set columns+=80" for example. Actually, doing this
after dragging Vim beyond one screen width SHRINKS the Vim window.
I see the use case for ":set columns=9999" filling only one window. But if I
issue the command again, or use +=, then I think the Vim window should continue
expanding.
But, I'm pretty sure this isn't backwards compatible. Thoughts?
