thank you... that seems to work... i dont like to split the screen (into
Panes) in Vim
Select the text in visual mode, then press y to "yank" it into
the buffer (copy)
or d to "delete" it into the buffer (cut).
Then you can :split <new file name> to split your vim window up,
and press p to paste in the yanked text. Write the
file as normal.
To close the split again, pass the split you want to close :q .
