Idea: Vertical mode

[vexorian]

By this thread: http://apps.topcoder.com/forums/?module=Thread&threadID=801908&start=0 there is a (difficult to find) Arena functionality that makes problem statment / editor split vertically instead of horizontally. It looks like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/95690732/screenshots/greedvertical.png (took the liberty to put a green circle over the button that makes this feature possible)

It is already very useful for greed because it allows us to read both the entire log and the statement without issue. But it would be better if there was a config setting to move the buttons to below the log instead of the left.

Yes, I've noticed that functionality. But I think it's low importance with relatively high effort. We have to dig into the new API (which has no document I assume). We can leave it here for now, and implement this later.

I agree it is low importance, but I did not mean to detect this vertical mode. But to just add a config value that makes Greed render buttons to the left instead of the button. So that somebody who wishes to use the vertical split can do that if he wants. I even doubt it is possible to detect the vertical split from plugin api.

Yes, I also doubt that (o_o)
