Thanks. I took a quick look at https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/doc/todo.txt. I don't think there is a plan. To support multi monitors within single gvim process, there would be huge amount of work, I guess. 90% of time, I use vim. 10% of time, when I need multi monitor support

Does gVim has long term plan to support Emacs' frame feature? (For multi monitors)

2019-03-06 Thread KGG
Current gVim does not support frame. So it can be used in only one monitor. I want to know: does gVim has long term plan to support Emacs' frame feature?, which is very handy if you want to use it across multi monitor. Or other plan to support multi monitors? -- -- You received this message
