So I usually split emacs into two columns. Although I can see different parts of the same document in the two columns, I wish emacs would know that it is the same document shown in the two columns and do the following: At any point of time if the last line of the left column corresponds nth line of the document, the first line in the right column corresponds to (n+1)th line of the document. So whenever the content of the one column changes due to scrolling or cursor movement, I wish the content of the other column is also changed to maintain the above invariant. I suspect this functionality is already there. Could anyone please point it out. Thanks a lot. Saswat
