New feature: "Extended" terminals?
Submitted by Chris Ball
Link to original bug (#331621)
Description
Hello,
I frequently run large Makefiles that produce a lot of output, and I like to see as much of the output as I can -- I make my terminal as tall as the height of my screen. However, what I'd really like to be able to do is to create another terminal, of the same dimensions, and have a setup where when something scrolls off terminal one it scrolls onto terminal two, so that I have a double-width extended terminal. (Or an n-width extended terminal, conceivably.)
Emacs supports doing something like this with "follow-mode", but I'm not editing local files, I'm sshing far away. Any interest in implementing this, or accepting a patch? (I wouldn't mind if this were some kind of gconf-only feature, unadvertised in the GUI, FWIW.)
Thanks very much for reading.
