    I've used this feature a lot in the text editor I've used since about 1985 (JOVE). I find it amazing what vi users have lived without in those years.

      I'm not sure about this one. There's tmux for that kind of thing.

        I will always prefer nano. While being far from perfect at least it is kind of straight forward to use.

          Straight forward as a pen and a piece of paper.

              If you are on SSH you can just open all other sessions you feel like opening to have more than one terminal window.

              If you are connected on serial... afaik you can't multiplex like that, but again serial isn't that common anymore.
              If I am in X (your CTRL+ALT+Fn case) then I am not working in a text interface, now am I?

              And, there are other operating systems than Linux (your ALT-F1, ... case)

              OTOH if I am in a single user session on a broken Linux box then none of those are available.

                Sounds good - Vi is a text editor, so no more binary logfiles from systemd!
