Yes there is a way in Vim without additional plugins. Take a look
at :help :mksession and :help :mkview
The way I use it is to set up 3-4 open windows with the files I
frequently visit. Then
:mksession myview.vim
Then when I want to go back to that configeration I use:
:so myview.vim

Hi all,
The ability to split windows is an absolute essential; however,
there are times when I want to focus on one buffer in one window
and hide all of the other windows. But, I don't know of any show/
hide feature that hides all windows but the current window. As a
workaround, I resize all of the windows to give maximum space to
the window I want to see, but this then makes me resize all of the
windows again when I want to restore the windows.
So, by any chance, is this a feature that is already implemented
and I don't know of it?
Or, can it be put on a wishlist? If so, here's how I imagine it
could work:
Some keystroke does the toggle for show/hide inactive windows (non-
current windows). Also, a statusline entry is available that can
be used as a visible reminder that the inactive windows are hidden.
Feedback?
Thanks,
