To switch from the first display to the second on the fly: CTRL-w L /* upper case 'L' !! */ Likewise you can use .. CTRL-w H /* ibid. */ CTRL-w J /* ... */ CTRL-w K /* ... */ .. to rearrange the respective locations of your windows following the usual lower case mnemonics (H=left, L=right, J=down, K=up) Now, combined with .. CTRL-W <h,j,k,l> .. to navigate your vim windows and a bit of practice to get the hang of it, you should be able to switch to just about any configuration that suits you at any given time without thinking.
