I may be far from BRLTTY purpose, as I'm a new (and happy !) user, but would it be possible to recognize a modeline in emacs so that we can easily jump from one window to another (to read them) ? (GNU Emacs), because we often open a secondary window (i.e. completion) and have to scroll "a lot" to find bottom one. In fact, my question is "would it be possible to sectorize tty with some pattern-matching to be faster while browsing it ?". I have to say that, for the moment, I use a 20-sized brailledisplay... So I scroll a lot :-) Another example would be to split MC screen for reading (two vertical sectors, a third at the bottom) so that it helps finding things. This may not be a good idea as we would have to find a way to recognize screens (MC, centericq, emacs and so on), and pattern-matching would be hazardous sometimes (it wouldn't be built on semantics, only appearence), but it gives an idea of what kinds of screen-viewers could feature. Tell me what you think about Regards, Boris. P.S. : I've used screen sectorizing tools under Windows and I know it wasn't a good way to help as when you just move one thing, all goes wrong...
