Changing a vertical split into a horizontal split in Vim, and vice versaEdit
Turn a vertical split into a horizontal split:
^Wt^WK
Turn a horizontal split into a vertical split:
^Wt^WH
ie:
^Wt
: make top-left window current^WK
: move current window to full-width, top position^WH
: move current window to full-height, far left position
If there are only two windows, the ^Wt
can be omitted.
As a mnemonic, each of ^WH
, ^WJ
, ^WK
and ^WL
(ie. the basic directional movement keys in Vim) can be used to send the current window to the very left, bottom, top, or right, respectively.
