Yes, but that is not what I meant. When you are searching the code for |
| 18 |
a message. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
the message in your terminal would read |
| 21 |
"sys-apps/foo is missing bar required use flag..." |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
It may not be obvious to people to break up the text to search into 2 |
| 24 |
strings. "is missing" and "required use flag..." trying one, failing |
| 25 |
that try the other to find the code location. Then there is the |
| 26 |
problem of translations moving/re-arranging the text to suit the |
| 27 |
language (minor I know, but still a factor to consider). |

You need to get some large 4K monitors... love them :D |
| 44 |
I treated myself to two 28 inch ones during boxing week sales. |
| 45 |
My aging eyes love them :) They are so much better than my old 24 inch |
| 46 |
1080p monitors. Those were getting tired/starting to loos clarity along |
| 47 |
with my eyes working at them all week long. I now work with larger |
| 48 |
fonts which are still physically smaller than my old monitors, but |
| 49 |
sooooo much clearer. My eyes don't get nearly so tired as they did |
| 50 |
with my other monitors. |

My work has a 130 col limit. With an editor at that, |
| 56 |
plus a wide, open files pane on the left of the editor window, I still |
| 57 |
have another large terminal window open to it's right with some bare |
| 58 |
screen real-estate patches and borders... ;) Not to mention nearly 100 |
| 59 |
lines of code view-able in the editor. |
