I would be happy with that, too. Well, I think it's even better. But
we really should come up with some mechanism to utilize the widescreen
displays computers nowadays have.
I think your approach would do that. This example function would split
horizontally as long as all windows are 80 or more columns wide.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun th-split-window-function ()
(save-window-excursion
(save-excursion
(split-window-horizontally)
(balance-windows)
(if (>= (let ((edges (window-edges))) (- (nth 2 edges) (nth 0 edges))) 80)
'split-window-horizontally
'split-window-vertically))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Would you try to implement that?
Bye,
Tassilo
