Split Screen was created by Kinaed
So, yet another huge thing on my personal client wishlist, The Splitscreen.

This is useful when you're trying to read something (a large help file, perhaps) while game scroll keeps coming in. Here is how I'm used to it working...

- Page Up splits the screen about half way, everything above the split freezepanes, everything below continues to scroll. Continuing to page up will actually page up the freeze pane the specified number of pages from where the window was frozen.

- Page Down will, at the last page, release the freezepane, or just page down in the freeze pane.

- I can use my mouse to grab the split and move it up or down to where I'm comfortable for reading purposes.

- I can hit Ctrl-Z to toggle the split screen on or off where I last set it, or to the default middle split.

I added a freezepane button in the ScrollView toolbar. See what you think.

I'm not sure. It does the job, but it splits my existing screen into two at the existing width, scrunching things up. I'm very grateful because you added this, but I think I need to give it a week or two of use before I can feedback if it's truly dissatisfying or if it's just a matter of being used to something else and needing to retrain my brain. I'll use it for awhile, then comment.

Once again, thank you for your responsiveness and care!

So, after getting used to this version of split screen a bit, it does do everything I need it to. I can't complain, really. It would be nice if, however, instead of splitting vertically, it would split horizontally? The client squeezes the text left-to-right and makes it smaller.

Also, can we get a hotkey on the keyboard to toggle the split screen on and off? I don't use my mouse very much when Mudding.

You've been very good to my requests, so I feel a bit bashful asking for more - very happy with the client so far. Thank you for everything!
