Currently, `split-window-sensibly' prefers to try to split vertically first, disregarding the actual shape of the frame or the user preferences. This is a good default when Emacs is taller than wider. However, when Emacs is in full-screen (landscape screen layout), trying to split vertically may not be what the user expected, since there is plenty of space available on the right. Typical scenario: Emacs is in landscape layout, one buffer is open in a window covering the entire frame. Another buffer is opened in a second window (C-x 4 f). Both splits are feasible but users may prefer the horizontal one. This patch preserves the behavior of the `split-height-threshold' and `split-width-threshold' variables. Splitting continues not to be permitted if the edge length is below the threshold. * lisp/window.el (split-window-sensibly): First tried split direction follows user preferences. * etc/NEWS: Add an entry for new variable `split-window-preferred-direction'. * doc/emacs/windows.texi: Document new variable. |
