Hi,
Thank you so much. It provides me a show case, from which I get
the following:
1. A layout consists of one or more frames.
2. Each frame has zero or one window.
3. The frames are effect of command `split'. Or `layout new'?
4. The frames in each layout can be tranversed by command `focus'.
If a frame is focused, all the commands like `split', `screen',
`caption`, and so on would happen in this frame.
5. Each window has zero or one group.
6. If a window has a group, then `prev' and `next' would only switch
among all the windows of this group.
7. If a window has no group, then `prev' and `next' would switch
among all the windows of screen.
8. The point is to create groups of windows, which is done by,
first `layout new', then `screen //group', finally
`layout save'.
9. The group window can be created without `layout new', but
without it, later created groups are children of the first
group, instead of sibling of the first group.
I wonder if the above are true. But I'm sure it is the begin of
the try-and-error process.
Thanks again,
Cheng
