emacs follow-mode
Table of Contents
Follow mode does the following:
when you have 2 windows in the same frame showing the same buffer, show the buffer in them like they combine to a VERY TALL VIRTUAL WINDOW, with the following behaviour:
- from left to right, mark them 1,2,3…
- adjacent window are connected:
- if 1 have line 36 at bottom, window 2 will have line 371.
- when cursor goes beyond window and an adjacent window in that direction exists, move to that window
- if no such window exist, scroll every window displaying this file
TOGETHER
