That's just silly.  I frequently open two panes on the same file.  Lets
compare:

Your way:
	- click to open a new terminal
	- click on it because it's not where I want, move it

vi aren't useful, fine, maybe not to you.  Don't use them.  Other
people love that feature, that feature is why I tried emacs many
