Write thin to write fast

Hi,

In Emacs, it is possible by using "follow-mode":

Open a "large" file.

M-x follow-mode

C-x 3 ;; to split vertically

And adjust splits width as many times needed.

I usually use 3 splits with "visual-line-mode" enabled.

Yeah, I tried that out. It works pretty well, except that it's not always obvious how the files relate to each other at a glance - I tried it out on an Org-mode file with a lot of small headlines, so that made it more difficult. It would be nice to see in my modeline which window shows which part of the file.
