[Cgdb-devel] Patch: Vertical split mode

[David W. <dwh...@gm...>]

I've added a patch to the patch tracker that allows a vertical split  
in addition to the current horizontal split.  Great for wide-screen  
monitors.

Hi David,

I've tested your patch with the feature I've longed for, and I loved
it! Thanks for your efforts! Wide screen monitors are very common
nowadays, and vertically split windows make very efficient use of
screen spaces.

A small bug I've found: when in vertical split mode, '_'/'+'
decreases/increaes the width of the window by 25% of the height rather
than 25% of the width.

As a related note, I think that 25% of the width might be too large a
decrement/increment when one has a very wide terminal window. For
example, the size of my full-screen terminal window is 76 lines by 237
columns, so 1/4 of the width is almost 60 columns -- too large when it
comes to adjusting the width of the window using '_'/'+'. I suppose
this problem might be solved by setting the interval to a small value
(e.g. 1/6 or 1/8 of the width/height) when the width/height exceeds a
certain value (e.g. 120).

Best regards,

Thanks for trying it. I'm glad it works for you!

Good catch.  I'll clean that up.  I'm sure there are probably a few  
more nits
lurking in there somewhere.

I think you're right about the 25%.  Maybe a percentage jump just  
doesn't
make sense for vertical split adjustments.  Perhaps a fixed adjustment
amount would be more sensible?

Hi David,

Thanks for the work. I've been very busy and have not had time to look
at this. Have you made any improvements since you've uploaded this?

I'll try to take a look at this patch within the next week or two.

Thanks,
Bob Rossi

Hi Bob,

Unfortunately, my brief window of free time closed shortly after I  
posted the patch.  If after you have taken a look at the patch you  
think it may be worth including, I could try to find some time to  
clean it up, but It probably won't be for a couple of months.

Thanks,
David
