generalization of follow mode, to arbitrary pices of the buffer

generalization of follow mode, to arbitrary pices of the buffer

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello


Does anybody know about a generalization of follow mode which does the
following:
After a vertical split of the buffer, I scroll, say the right window
down 100 lines.

Then I activate the generalized follow mode and now any scroll movement
on one of the windows is done on the other window as well.

Google search did not return anything useful.

Thanks

Aehm sorry follow-all-mode, does precisely what I want. Sorry for the noise.

I sometimes wonder about a further generalization of that.
Occasionally it would be useful to have (loosely) synchronized
scrolling of two windows displaying different buffers. The windows in
question might be in the same or different frames.

(Use cases: translations between languages; reviewing or
hand-correcting results of an automated format conversion.)

scroll-all-mode does almost that. Expanding it for doing exactly what
you request shouldn't be difficult.
