`tcvt` is a python terminal multiplexer, which is a bit excessive for the
purpose of saving terminal columns. Even forgoing that GNU man has
$MANWIDTH, why not just use vertical split tmux? It's faster (written in
C) and is much more versatile. This would do more or less the same:

`tmux new ';' splitw -h man dwm`
