Multi-page view

[Peter Frost]

It would be nice to see a simple multi-page view added, for use with widescreen or multi-monitor setups.

Can you give a mockup of what you imagine ? It seems interesting but not very clear to me. IE : when you scroll, do you want all the pages to scroll accordingly ? Also, how do you know in what "page" you are currently typing ?

I came here to report the same wish. Not sure whether the original poster agrees, but yes, pages would scroll accordingly, and where you type is indicated by the blinking cursor. Basically it would work like the new multi-page view in OpenOffice.org 3.0 (screenshot attached).

I'd like to see this in the plugin system that's been proposed.

I think it'd be a good way to start as far as plugins go, at least in terms of plugins modifying the interface.

Following the same kind of idea, on dual screens, pyroom only shows up on one screen, leaving the other full of... well, whatever you've got there. An option allowing to at least black out the second screen would be interesting.

Well, it is great that there are more people out there thinking alike!

I thought it was only me who "needed" different buffers on the same window.

I think it is very useful when working o a large screen.
