However at present more and more people begin to use widescreen tft monitor for programming, in my opinion it will be much better that, after we run "C-x 4" commands the Emacs cut the whole screen into two HORIZONTALL screens. Of course, people could open a new file first with "C-x 4 f" command, and close it, and run "C-x 3" command to cut the whole screen horizontally and show it in the second window. But it takes some operations, which will be happened frequently when programming. Is there a fast and direct way to make all the "C-x 4" commands default cut the window HORIZONTALLY, or not? Especially when you're compiling, make the compiling result show in the window right to the code window!! Hope for your answers.
