Topicbox-Message-UUID: fa2c3a3c-ead7-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Acme workflow scales absolutely fantastically to a large monitor. I would say it is one of Acme's strong points. I recently upgraded to a 27" 2560x1440 display. It's pretty great to have four wide columns (five if you have a thin one for directory listings) in a single window. The mouse-warping helps a lot with the increased area. So if you have some unique setup that doesn't properly move your mouse (like using Xming on windows to run p9p acme on a remote unix host), you'll want to get that looked at. Cheers, David A.
