Yes, L-R scrolling can be on our TODO list, but it will require a lot of
hacking (most problems with anchors IMO). But seems I'll have time to do
something big only in Feb. Sorry.
May be there is a cheap hack to achieve L-R scrolling. If 'screen' allows
windows to be wider than actual screen, and allows to L-R scroll them (I
don't use it since I don't have time to study it) , then IMO it's possible to
add commandline switch like '-table-cols' that will specify how wide tables
can be. Eg, if you use 80-col terminal, then running lynx with commandline
'lynx -cols=80 -table-cols=160' will allow rendered tables to take no more
than 2 actual screens wide, while making other content to fit in 80 chars.
Seems this is a nice idea (if screen satisfies conditions specified).
Klaus, what do you think?
