Continue buffer in other window?

Continue buffer in other window?

[PL]

Hi!

I've heard it's possible to have a buffer to run over two paralell
windows, but I cannot find any info on that. I *don't* mean C-x 3, and
bring up the same buffer in each window. That would make the windows
to "live" separately (although buffer changes are reflected in both
windows of course).

For example, if row 1-80 of a file (buffer) is displayed in left
window, row 81-160 of the same file would be visible in right window.
If I delete row 1-10 (left window), then 10 rows will be shifted up in
*both* left window and right window. That is, previous row 11-90 now
in left window, 91-170 in right window.

Is that possible? Anyone?

You probably mean C-x 6 2

Try C-x 3 and then M-x follow-mode RET.

Continue buffer in other window?

[PL]

Hi!  

I've heard it's possible to have a buffer to run over two paralell
windows, but I cannot find any info on that.
I *don't* mean C-x 3 to have two separate windows, viewing the same
buffer individually. I *do* mean showing, for instance row 1-80 i left
window, row 81-160 in right window. If I add one row in left window,
one row shall be shifted in right window aswell.

I've tried to post this earlier, but the article never showed up. Even
more strange is that I got an e-mail from Eric Hanchrow, suggesting I
should use two-buffer mode.

Q1: How *exactly* do I set two-buffer mode?

Q2: How could Eric Hanchrow answer my posting when I can't see it?

A very confused Peter...

Split the buffer with `C-x 3' and then do `M-x follow-mode'.

M-x follow-mode RET

HI Peter,
 1. YOu can do C-x 3 many times and  see so many lines simultaneousy.
If you can create 8 vertical windows, you can see 80*8  = 640 lines 
with follow-mode.
Read more at http://user.it.uu.se/~andersl/follow.shtml

2. Assuming you are using google to post. (From your headers)
This is what happens
A. You post via google
B. Google gets it and sends it to thousands of news-servers arround
the world.
C. Someone reads that and gives the answer/
D. Google Receives the answer.
D. It's time for google to display your post on google.
E. Google post your question and displays your question and the answer
given by another user.




2. If you are posting via google, it goes to thousands of news servers
even  before google even displays it for viewing. Google's posting
takes 3 to 9 hours before showing on google. If anyone replys from
that news server, it can reach to google too, just like you post from
google.
