Subject: virtual file buffer spanning multiple physical files
Date: Fri, 01 Oct 2010 12:46:32 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bp7diz5z.fsf@lifelogs.com> (raw)

On a LUG mailing list I saw a request for a way to edit multiple
physical files through one virtual file.  The solution recommended was
to use FUSE.  I was thinking that would actually (with some folding
magic) be extremely useful in Emacs.  There are many cases where I edit
multiple small files and have to switch back and forth to see their
contents.  Also, search-and-replace would be easier.

Is there any existing mode that does that kind of virtual join?

Ted
