Proposal: Remove the split-screen "Open as secondary" (Ctrl+Click on the page)

[shpaass]

#527 reminded me that we have an "Open as secondary" option if you Ctrl+Click a page when another page is opened. That splits the screen in two vertically, with one page being below the other.

My assumption is that the pages are too vertically long most of the time to use that functionality, and that the UI is complicated enough without adding that to the mix. I am inclined to remove that functionality if no one uses it.

What do you guys think?

I am not using it... 😄

Agreed that a vertical split is not too useful, unless one has a vertical monitor (no idea if this is still a thing at current day and age). A horizontal split is more useful I guess (not that I think I would use it though).

Also, I have no idea if people are using it. I guess you could ask around on Discord.

I'd be more likely to use if if it were a left/right split instead of top/bottom, but I think I'd be even more likely to just open yafc twice on two different screens. (Even if I then do have to remember to make all changes in only one copy.)

The current system does have a bug where the new summary can't be placed in the secondary view, and it's always fun to fix a bug by deleting code.

Agreed, that would be the most likely scenario for me as well

We might be able to detect changes, and reload (ofc in there are no changes), although that might be huge niche feature that won't be used/understood by a lot of people...
