Split window #292

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

Hi !

I read that you do not plan to implement tabs in the great MiniTTY, that is 
fine and you have valid points. 
I was wondering if you plan or have looked at implementing Split windows inside 
the windows ? 
For forced windows user it very handy to have the same functionality as you 
have with Gnome terminator.

Great work with the MiniTTY none the less =)

Rejected, for essentially the same reasons as with tabs. Split windows are just 
another take on an application-specific Multiple Document Interface (MDI), 
which I don't think are a good idea. This sort of thing should be done at the 
desktop level, so that windows from any application can be arranged as desired, 
with a consistent user interface.

Perhaps I might be tempted if the Windows API had a straightforward way to 
implement split windows at the application level, but it doesn't, and 
implementing them from scratch is outwith the scope of this supposedly 
minimalist project.
