But of course I still want to be able to move from the left half to the right half. Note that this is on a tty frame. If I was using gui frames I could create two frames and put them side-by-side, but even then Iʼd have to use something like `other-frame' to move, instead of `windmove-left' or similar. Is there already a package for this? (I can achieve exactly this by running under tmux, and splitting horizontally, with an emacs frame in each tmux pane, but then I have to use tmux commands to move around instead of emacs commands).
