Hi everybody,
When editing several files in Emacs, each in its own buffer, each buffer has
its own point location. I have Emacs displaying two buffers, each in it's own
window. I was wondering if there's an easy way to make it so that each of these
buffers will keep the point at the same place in both buffers (or at least on
the same line) even though this is not the default behavior.
So, for example, when I press C-n in the current buffer, the other buffer will
also move it's point to the next line.
You can try “Alt+x 2C-two-columns” (shortuct Ctrl+x 6 2). This split a
window into 2 vertical columns. Page up/down one will also page up/
down the other. However, cursor doesn't follow.
related is a Alt+x follow-mode, which is for viewing one long file in
2 verticle frames as if you have a long monitor.
i'm pretty sure what you want is already implemented somewhere.
