This is actually doable, It's just a matter of setting up the
"viewports" in the "canvas". Compile screen with -DHOLE to get
another example of a non-standard layout.
How about the other screen users? Do you think it's worth to
implement something like this?
I don't see this as an important feature. The suggested example can
already be accomplished easily in vim, especially with the
'scrollbind' feature. Having an extra long terminal just isn't that
big of a deal when screen's scrollback buffer is so easily accessible.
