By that, of course, I meant to split the windows horizontally in a line. At that time, the most popular version of Irssi had been 0.8.9 for several years. -Fast forward another ten years, Ido Rosen transferred (half of) this issue to the new [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/irssi/irssi/issues/224). He compared the situation to WeeChat, another popular text mode IRC client which does support this. Technically, that application is using the [curses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses) library for text mode user interfaces, which can handle most of the window drawing. +Fast forward another ten years, Ido Rosen transferred (half of) this issue to the new [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/irssi/irssi/issues/224).

One advantage of that is that long links can be displayed as "single word" even when they wrap at the terminal border. Another one is support for arbitrary colour pairs, which is limited in curses. However, it also means more work for window handling. |
