For what it's worth, EMACS does allow you to open any buffer in any window. For example, if I have two windows 1 and 2 editing files A and B, 1 can view A and 2 can view B, or vice versa. They can even _both_ be viewing A. I don't use terminal tabs either. I just run 'screen -x' inside most terminals. This has the advantage that any "tab" can be opened in any window, which is useful to me on a daily basis (for example, if I want to refer to something in "tab" 1 while typing in "tab" 2). It also saves on screen real estate because there's no tab bar. > I find however that tabs in a web browser are indispensable. I have no > idea how IE users deal with having so many browser windows. It's probably because browser windows are so _big_. I don't want more than a couple of those, ever :) Jody > > cheers, > -- > Trevor Curtis > http://www.somaradio.ca/~tcurtis > > _______________________________________________ > Linux mailing list > Linux [ at ] lists [ dot ] oclug [ dot ] on [ dot ] ca > http://www.oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux --
