Also if point moves outside a window, another window displaying +that point is selected if possible, so that you can move between windows +with normal movement commands. You can use this facility, for instance, +to operate effectively with double the number of lines of a file visible +in a given screen height using side-by-side windows on the same buffer: +split the window with @kbd{C-x 3} and then use @kbd{M-x follow-mode} to +synchronize the windows. -- 2.20.1
