I knew it should be there, but the vertical split doesn't show up. I did some Google searching. http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/285795-taking-command-of-the-terminal-with-gnu-screen- says... > Some newer releases of screen (later than 4.0.3-10) also support > windows split vertically.

The current ebuild is screen-4.0.3, and up to screen-4.0.3-r4 (with ~everything) shows up after an "emerge --sync". I can "./configure --with-various-options && make && make install" with the best of them (not that I know what I'm doing<G>), but the latest builds of "screen" are in a git repository, which I'm not familiar with. Plus which, these builds could be alpha or very early beta, so I don't really want to use them on a production machine. Keywording ~amd64 ebuilds is as much "bleeding edge" as I want to go. -- Walter Dnes <waltdnes@waltdnes.org>
