;; In addition to two-column editing of text, for example for writing a
;; bilingual text side-by-side as shown below in the file's prolog, other
;; interesting uses have been found for this minor mode:
;; 
;; 
;; You can separate the columns with   {+} C-x 6 u  or  <f2> u  if you prefer
;; any string that pleases you, by     {+} handles these with a prefix argument
;; setting tc-separator.  For          {+} that enables you to declare the
;; example "{+}  " if you like to      {+}  desired length of such a string.
;; amuse yourself.
;; 
;; 
;; keyword You can write any text corresponding to a
;; 	  given keyword in a filled paragraph next to
;; 	  it.  Note that the width of the first column
;; 	  may be less than window-min-width in the
;; 	  result, but will be displayed at that width.
;; 
;; another This is not a three- or multi-column mode.
;; 	  The example in the file's prolog required
;; 	  working on two columns and then treating the
;; 	  result as one column in order to add the
;; 	  third.
;; 
;; 
;; Programmers might like the ability to split off the comment column of
;; a file that looks like the following.  The advantage is that with
;; (setq fill-prefix "-- ") you can run M-q (fill-paragraph) on the
;; comment.  The problem is, code quickly gets rather wide, so you need
;; to use a narrower comment column, which is less interesting, unless
;; you have a 132-column screen.  Code lines that reach beyond
;; comment-column are no problem, except that you won't always see their
;; end during editing.
;; 
;; BEGIN				-- This is just some meaningless
;;     FOR i IN 1..10 LOOP		-- code in Ada, that runs foobar
;; 	foobar( i );			-- once for each argument from one
;;     END LOOP;			-- to ten, and then we're already
;; END;					-- through with it.
;; 
;; Better yet, you can put the point before "This", type M-3 C-x 6 u
;; which makes "-- " the separator between a no-comments Ada buffer, and
;; a plain text comment buffer.  When you put them back together, every
;; non-empty line of the 2nd column will again be preceded by "-- ".
;; 
;; 
;; The <f2> function key hack (which is one of the rare times when
;; function keys are mnemonic) at the end of the file's prolog requires
;; that the lisp/term/*.el for your terminal use the standard
;; conventions.  Too bad that some don't (at least not in version 18.55).
;; The Sun one is hopelessly non-standard, and vt2[024]0 somehow forgot
;; to define <f1> thru <f5>.  (It defines <pf1> thru <pf4> instead, but
;; that is not what we need on an X terminal.)  If you want to use those,
;; you'll need another hack something like:
;; 
;;       (if (string= (system-name) "cix")
;; 	  (progn
;; 	    (load-library "term/vt200.el")
;; 	    (define-key CSI-map "12~" (cons function-keymap ?\^b)))
;; 	(global-unset-key "\e[")
;; 	(define-key esc-map "[225z" (cons function-keymap ?\^b)))
;; 
;; where "cix" is the non-sun machine I use.  Actually I use the same X
;; terminal to connect to both machines, and I want to keep my ~/.emacs
;; identical on both.  Bother, the two Emacses don't recognize the same
;; keys and assign different sequences to those they do!  I sure hope all
;; this nonsense will stop with version 19 (or preferably soon) where I'd
;; like to be able to say (define-key some-map '<f2> some-cmd), and see
;; <f2> rather than some unintelligible ESC-sequence in command key
;; sequences.

When called the first time, associates a buffer with the current
buffer.  Both buffers are put in two-column minor mode and
tc-mode-hook gets called on both.  These buffers remember
about one another, even when renamed.

When called again, restores the screen layout with the current buffer
first and the associated buffer to it's right.

If you include long lines, i.e which will span both columns (eg.
source code), they should be in what will be the first column, with
the associated buffer having empty lines next to them.

You have the following commands at your disposal:

\\[tc-two-columns]   Rearrange screen
\\[tc-associate-buffer]   Reassociate buffer after changing major mode
\\[tc-scroll-up]   Scroll both buffers up by a screenfull
\\[tc-scroll-down]   Scroll both buffers down by a screenful

\\[tc-associated-buffer]   Switch to associated buffer
\\[tc-merge]   Merge both buffers

These keybindings can be customized in your ~/.emacs by `tc-prefix'
and `tc-mode-map'.

`tc-window-width', `tc-beyond-fill-column',
