=================================================================
= CHAPTER 13.1 CREATE NEW SPLIT =
=================================================================
In normal mode, press ctrl-w (i.e. start pressing ctrl, and
while it is pressed, press w) to open the Window menu. This will
display a pop up that reminds of most window splitting and window
control commands available.
To open a new empty buffer in a vertical split on the right half
of your current window, you can use ctrl-w nv (i.e., press ctrl
and w at the same time, then press n, then press v). Your current
window will now split in 2 vertically, a new empty buffer split
will appear on the right half, and your cursor will jump to the
new vertical split.
To create a new empty buffer in an horizontal split, press
ctrl-w ns . This will split your current window in 2 horizontally
and create a new buffer, and your cursor will jump to the new
horizontal split.
=================================================================
= CHAPTER 13.2 MOVE BETWEEN SPLITS =
=================================================================
Use ctrl-w k or ctrl-w arrow-up to move to the split above your
current split. Use ctrl-w j or ctrl-w arrow-down to move back
to the split below.
cursor back to the left split (hjkl or the arrows allow all the
usual movements in window mode).
You can now do whatever you want in your new buffer (edit,
save, ...). Once you are done with using your new buffer split,
you can close it with ctrl-w q to revert to having a single split
as you had initially.
=================================================================
= CHAPTER 13.2 SPLIT CURRENT BUFFER =
=================================================================
You can also, starting in normal mode, split the view of
the current buffer: try using ctrl-w s (to split half way
horizontally) and ctrl-w v (to split half way vertically). Feel
free to feel moving between the splits you created (ctrl-w hjkl),
closing individual splits, etc.
=================================================================
= CHAPTER 13.3 USE COMMANDS TO SPLIT =
=================================================================
Note that you can also use commands to split, by typing in normal
mode :vsplit (to split the current buffer), or :vsplit FILE_PATH
(to open FILE_PATH into the new split). :vsplit-new is equivalent
to ctrl-w nv , and you can use :hsplit instead of :vsplit to
split horizontally instead.
=================================================================
This tutorial is still a work-in-progress.
More sections are planned.
