Semi-related, but this reminds me of a Vim plugin, Microviche, that allows one to "pan and zoom through text": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YNiPUTGO28 https://github.com/q335r49/microviche I'd say Microviche rpresents a text editing paradigm entirely of its own just like Acme. I remember having wanted to emulate something similar within Acme (the feeling of scrolling text panes/columns horizontally), but I didn't really try. Mart
