This will allow you to: +================================================================= += 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.
