I do C-x 3 and load a homebrew "tiny-mode" that shrinks the font size in the second window. Maybe I'll package it up and post it later.

Please do, I'm curious to take a look at it.

Here's a first crack at the effect: http://gist.github.com/188773

I'm not much of an elisp programmer, but this seems to work reasonably well. It depends on Emacs 23. To use, load and run mini-map-mode.

Anyone still following this should use the minimap mode at http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/ThingsEmacsCannotDo. It's better in (almost) every way than mine.

Emacs crashed on M-x mini-map-mode, in Clojure Box.

I pasted the link content into .emacs, downloaded highlight-current-line, and changed the font to Courier New (don't have Consolas). Do you have any ideas?

edit: As far as I can tell, it crashes even with clojure-mode not loaded. Emacs 23.0.91.1, btw.
