Maybe "F2 1" is  a midway stage in the workflow, one  then uses "F2 s"
to resume two-column editing, the narrowed secondary window is brought
back to visual balance by "C-x +" ; I've always wanted to take control
in the two-column mode but have left it in the too hard basket because
of the narrowed window.
