Not sure about your use case, but if I understand correctly, you can also do this in Vim: $ vim file.txt CTRL-W v split window ‘vertically’ CTRL-F page down right half-window one screen worth :set scrollbind CTRL-W h cursor to left half-window :set scrollbind bind both half-windows' scrolling You can now use the usual page, half-page, etc. scrollling keyboard actions to scroll your text. See... :h scb :h tw :h CTRL-W The last two can be combined to tweak the width of your columns and your half-windows. You could also take a peek at the ‘pr’ command: $ pr -3 -w 300 infile.txt | less If your display has 260+ columns and your input file 80 characters lines, this should present you with roughly formatted 3-column output.
