Does vim have a way to split the view window?
What I'd like to do with a long document is to be editing in one place
in the document while viewing a different part of the document.
Bonus question: Can the split be adjusted so that my editing pane has
either more or fewer lines than the other pane?
Another: Can I switch easily from one pane to the other for editing?
(basically so that I can cut from one pane and paste to the other)
Try (in vim, of course)
:help split
Helpful hint: for anything that "looks like a hyperlink", try putting
you cursor in that word/phrase and keying Ctrl-]
Thanks.
Super bonus question: Is there a way that I can google this sort of
info from some web-based super man page?
I have not yet met a really well organized reference. I have a couple of
books and a couple of quick reference cards, but they all lack easy ways
to find things. I haven't looked, but if there is an all-on-one-page
manual, maybe that would be good for searching within.
Googling on
vim manual online
brings up as the first hit
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/
Have a look and report back what you find, please. :-)
It appears I did not word that last question very well. What I meant
was some web site of man pages that could be googled for answers.
But I'll check out that which you mentioned.
