Someone asked for the feature, and I said I'd release a test version that included the patch, but I never got around to it. Sorry about that. What I think I said at the time was that I'd tried the patch, and gave it up because its behavior was undocumented and I couldn't figure out how to make it work. Its operation seemed quite confusing to me. But I don't know if that was just me, and it was working as intended; or if it was some Cygwin-specific problem. So, I Promise to post a test version within the next day or two that includes the patch. Those of you who want to use it will be responsible for testing it, telling me whether you think it works, and if possible, providing some simple instructions for using it, that I can include in the README.Cygwin.

Vertical split in GNU screen
Hi, Is the vertical split feature of screen already integrated or has it been abandoned? I found some discussion about it on the mailing list, but it was never mentioned if the patch was stable or applied. When I tried the key combination with | and V nothing happened. I would appreciate having this feature for cygwin. Thanks a lot, Johannes Müller -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Re: Vertical split in GNU screen
Thanks a lot for your quick answer! I will be pleased if you could post the version of Screen with vsplit patch as a test release because i didn't try to compile for cygwin yet! I will try it and give my feedback! I'm on winxp sp3! Rgds, Florent.. 2010/8/6 Andrew Schulman : >> Hi, i'm new with mailing-lists use! >> i'd like to re-talk about a feature with cygwin screen!

There is a patch that's been available for a while, that adds vertical split support to screen. I believe that Debian, Ubuntu, and probably others already incorporate it into their official screen packages. I remember the exchange with Jeenu, and after that I did go get the patch, build screen with it for Cygwin, and try it out. What I found, if I remember right, is that I saw a lot of what I considered strange behavior, and very little documentation or help about how the vertical split feature is supposed to work. It didn't seem to me to be working very well, so I put it aside. If people would like to try out the patched version, I can post it as a test release. Maybe you can tell me if the vertical split feature is working the way it's supposed to.

Then, eventually, it will make its way to Cygwin and every other distribution which packages GNU screen. 2) You're asking us not to shout at you. Why are you shouting at us? Periods are what we use to close sentences. Please just use them. 3) Thanks for not quoting raw email addresses. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

The vertical split functionality exists as a patch, outside of the last official release, which is version 4.0.3. I've heard that the patch is supposed to be stable, and people seem to be using it widely. I've just never taken the time to try to apply it to screen in Cygwin. I agree that it would be good to have it in Cygwin. Let me see if I can find a little time in the next few days to try it out.

Vertical split in GNU screen
Hi, Though I'm not sure if vertical split is officially supported in GNU screen, I noticed what I installed in my Ubuntu (Karmic) supports it (C-a |). Does anyone know if it's going to be in Cygwin's port of screen any time soon? -- :J -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
