Columcille allows a Vim user to manage split windows using simple :Columns
and :Rows
commands.
Either
- download the files as a ZIP; extract that and place the files in each directory under their matching counterparts under
~/.vim
(so for example, files underdoc/
here would go under~/.vim/doc/
), or - install using Vundle: add
Bundle 'fifthposition/columcille'
to the bundle list in your~/.vimrc
, start Vim, and run:BundleInstall
(highly recommended).
Detailed… details are in the help file (columcille.txt).
Basic use:
:Columns <number>
: divide the main window into<number>
top-level vertical split windows (an example::Columns 3
):Rows <number>
: divide the current top-level vertical split window (or the main window, if there are not vertical split windows open) into<number>
horizontal split windows (an example::Rows 4
)
Enjoy! (No, that is not a suggestion. Enjoy, I say!)
