Hi=2C

my name is Arthur= =2C and I just subscribed to this list. Though I am new to this list=2C I a= m not so new to Emacs.I have just a question/thought about a feature I woul= d like see in Emacs=2C hope you don't mind.

Lately Adobes Brackets = editor has got some popularity (It seems to be pretty much Emacs on javascr= ipt). I am not really into using it full time=2C since I am good with Emacs= =2C but I do like the idea of mulitple file editing in one buffer. It is li= ke context-aware multi-file editing or what it should be called. They use i= t to edit css or javascript while editing html file=2C s=E5 that one does n= ot have to switch between buffers/files. It seems pretty handy=2C and I wou= ld kind-a like to see implementation for C/C++ (macros=2C templates) and so= on.

I think it shouldn't be impossible to do now=2C since Emacs alr= eady can split window and show multiple buffers. How difficult would it be = to add a mode/feature to "expand" a buffer (split window) under the current= line and load exact part of a file with of course correct langauge mode an= d so on. I guess semantic package would be needed since it seems to be simi= lar context awareness as it is needed for code completition.

I am no= t knowledgable about Emacs internals=2C so I don't really know where to hac= k=2C but wonder if something similar is already implemented or "on the way"= .
