I got quite happy when I learned there was a version of Gnu Screen that let you do vertical splits. I always have 2 screens side by side (emacs and shell) both distinct ssh sessions with distinct instances of screen. Had this worked it would have saved me some minor inconvenience since I'd only need to log in once and not have to select between the two detached screen sessions.
I said "had it worked". Actually it did work, but there is a side effect that is a deal breaker and it makes me really sad. The fatal flaw is that I mouse select for cut/paste a LOT and the selection does not respect the border between the vertical split. Yes, there is the keyboard option for cut/paste but that's insufficient.
