Would be good to make virtual consoles support into the
GNU/Hurd environment.
But would be useful make it with new powerful features. Some
ideas:
* Clone the Emacs buffer approach (!)
(The same keystrokes?)
(Display more than one VC at same time? C-x2?)
* Built-in text flow from one VC to another.
(How?)
* Run-Time configuration via keystrokes (or a special configuration VC).
(Emulation type, ...)
(Menus?)
* One special VC for system messages.
(Special keystrokes?)
* Other special VCs.
* ...
(Please, give ideas!)
Perhaps some of these capabilities would be builded into the
shell?
Perhaps these capabilities are completely absurd?
What servers must be used/modified/created to do this? What would be
the best way?
I know it is a lot of work. But i am ready to start this effort ':)
