Vim how to open files in vertically/horizontal split windows?

I'm assuming you mean from the command line. From vim --help : oN Open N windows (default: one for each file) -ON Like -o but split vertically So type this to open files split horizontally, for example: vim -o3 file1. Txt file2.

Txt file3.txt.

I've never had to provide an N. – Jefromi Oct 5 '09 at 20:03 Indeed, it seems to be something in my . Vimrc causing the trouble.

If I move it aside, -o without N works as documented. – Laurence Gonsalves Oct 6 '09 at 3:35.

Ctrl-W s for horizontal splitting Ctrl-W v for vertical splitting Ctrl-w q to close one.

No! I am looking to open from the command prompt, and not within the vim – vehomzzz Oct 5 '09 at 18:09 14 before your edition, there was no way to understand that. Down-voting me seems a bit cavalier.

While running vim: :sp filename (horizontal) :vsp filename (vertical).

This doesn't answer the question raised...but it SURE helped me out :D Thanks! – Abel Martin Mar 24 at 18:45.

Another interested trick is the CLI -p argument - which opens them in separate tabs for recent versions of vim and gvim. Gvim -p file1. Txt file2.txt.

This question is also asked on SuperUser, and shows how to do it and split horizontally and vertically at the same time! superuser.com/questions/113411/using-the....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
