History of 2020-06-08 Emacs as a (very simple) CAT

2020-06-08
		20:11 UTC Revision 1 . . . . mbork – From time to time, I need to translate something (usually from English to Polish). Being an Emacs user, I obviously do the typing in Emacs. However, translating – as opposed to writing – has its own set of challenges. One of them is that I need to have two texts on the screen, and track my positions in both. While the “current position” in the active window is clearly marked with the point, this is not that helpful in the “other window” – while the point is visible there, it is usually not very prominent (even if you customize the cursor-in-non-selected-windows variable, which see). You probably expect where this is going to. Yes, I’m going to write such a tool myself.
