Prioritize split along the longest edge by default.
Currently, `split-window-sensibly' prefers to try to split
vertically first, disregarding the actual shape of the frame
or the user preferences. This is a good default when Emacs
is taller than wider. However, when Emacs is in full-screen
(landscape screen layout), trying to split vertically may not
be what the user expected, since there is plenty of space
available on the right.
Typical scenario: Emacs is in landscape layout, one buffer is
open in a window covering the entire frame. Another buffer is
opened in a second window (C-x 4 f). Both splits are feasible
but users may prefer the horizontal one.
This patch preserves the behavior of the `split-height-threshold'
and `split-width-threshold' variables. Splitting continues not
to be permitted if the edge length is below the threshold.
* lisp/window.el (split-window-sensibly): First tried split
direction follows user preferences.
* etc/NEWS: Add an entry for new variable
`split-window-preferred-direction'.
* doc/emacs/windows.texi: Document new variable.
