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

Thanks. 

Basically: I am asking: is there a long term plan to support: run one Vim instance (single process) across multi monitor? Emacs as well as modern IDE support this feature.

Thanks,
Kevin

Currently, AFAIK every instance of Vim is seen by the OS as one
"window". What Vim calls "windows" (and "tab pages", which are sets of
Vim windows) are subdivisions of that, analogous, maybe, to what
browsers call "frames", so my guess is that to support several
monitors (displaying different things) with Vim, you would have to run
a separate Vim instance in each of them.

I don't know Emacs, and the extremely few times that I tried to use
it, its space-cadet-type keyboard use (with simultaneous use of any
number of Shift, Ctrl, Alt, etc. keys) quickly sent me back to good
old modal Vim.

Best regards,
Tony.
