Re: Nice Feature to Have in LyX: Multicolumn View of Documents

A vertical-split view that allows me to view/copy/paste different parts of the same long article or two articles is what I would love to have. Bo Yes! vertical and horizontal splitting. And to support multicolumn view, the horizontal splitting (bar) must have an option to "synchronize" the scrollbars of both sides so that if we scroll on one side then the other side scrolls automatically to where the view ends (or begins).
Re: Nice Feature to Have in LyX: Multicolumn View of Documents
Hello Stacia. I think that it's better not to relate this feature to the multicol package. The purpose is to make use of the big screen area to see more of the LyX-document in a confortable way without tying this feature to the "printed" document space.

It will be very nice that lyx could present the documents (I'm talking about the lyx presentation not about the product document) in two columns (or more) so that we can use all the space that new high-resolution displays bring to us in a very nice and powerful way. This sounds like a very dificult thing to implement but: what about something like a "lyx slave window". This lyx slave window is just another lyx window (uneditable and without menus or toolbars) that acts as a slave of the master (editable) lyx window so that if you scroll through the document in the master lyx window, the slave window reacts and scrolls too showing the document where the main window ended. This way you could have many lyx windows (one master and one slave or even many slaves chained) showing a multiculumn (editable in the master window) lyx view of the document. I will send this mail to the developers list too. Thanks, Nicolás
