Intro to Vim Tip #6 (Multiple viewports)
Monday, July 21st, 2008One feature of vim I don’t use enough is the ability to split the screen and view multiple files at once. I use this feature all the time when I use vimdiff, but not really any other time. I thought I’d take a moment to lay out some uses of it (thank Linux.com for the [...]
