I don't know if the OP will be satisfied with follow-mode but often
(eg when reading Gutenberg ebooks) I would like to have a
follow-like mode that treats the text as a book. With follow-mode
if you have a file that consists of four "pages", say A,B,C,D and
you start with the configuration
|-----|-----|
| | |
| A | B |
| | |
|-----|-----|
if you hit "C-v" you get
|-----|-----|
| | |
| B | C |
| | |
|-----|-----|
I would like to get
|-----|-----|
| | |
| C | D |
| | |
|-----|-----|
instead. Does such a mode exist?
Thanks in advance,
Nikos
