As a user of dual monitors, one vertical and one horizontal, I have to admit, there's nothing that makes me happier than full screen Vim on the vertical 23" monitor.
- Al-Khwarizmi 12y agoI use that configuration too. Which Linux distro do you use? I have found that not all of them seem to support that configuration (or at least, I could never set it with Ubuntu... OpenSUSE does support it fine though).
- yourad_io 12y agoUbuntu's control panel (gnome-settings) has never failed me for this (12.04+) and if you're into kinky CLI commands, xrandr is your friend. It is a sane wrapper that helps you configure your displays in an almost natural language: xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1024x768 --rotate 180 \ --output VGA1 --mode 640x480 --right-of eDP1 (From memory, dont paste this to the bank)
- ebiester 12y agoI don't know... I try to keep my functions and files short enough that I don't need that vertical space. :) I prefer horizontal mode and 2/3 horizontal splits. For some reason, that works better than vertical splits for me.
- vq 12y agoI got a similar setup, one vertical and one horizontal. I got an Emacs frame for both of them but end up doing most coding with the vertical monitor and using the horizontal one for peripheral tasks (browsing, calc-mode, reading docs, etc).
