So continuous mode is about fitting screens vertically on a page, and column view is about fitting screens first vertically and then horizontally.

This sounds very much like my first column mode version that moved screens Y first and bumped a screen X when no more Y was possible; you might want to give that a go if you do not have this up and running already yourself. I did add a mode and a button, but it is very elegant indeed to go "column" when in continuous mode + zoom.
See
http://forum.irexnet.com/viewtopic.php?t=1707 for more info + the link to my patch.
When time permits I would like to extend my current column patch in the following way:
- Allow for three algorithms for switching columns:
- Poppler precedence mode
- YX mode
- XY mode
- Allow for usage when no text has been detected by poppler in YX and YX mode
- Switch from one advance mode to another by using gestures (ie. making a horizontal line => move to XY mode, vertical => YX, diagonal => poppler precendence)
I could setup a git repository with the work I've done so far - rudimentary gestures and xy yx modes - and we could cooperate, if you like
