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

Mostly for debugging. When you're debugging, you often want spread windows (in Emacs, it's called "Frame") to different monitor, which is very handy.

Thanks,
Kevin

Could you describe this multi-monitor use case? I'm just curious.

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 with single process, I (have to) use Emacs ^_^.

Thanks,
Kevin

I don't think there is, but *ïf* there is, it is probably somewhere in
the todo.txt helpfile. I couldn't find it, but I'm bad at that kind of
search. Maybe you'll have better luck.

Best regards,
Tony.
