In case you don't already know it, this sounds like the behavior that ctrl+w f gives you, so you can keep "gf" around to open the file under the cursor in the *same* window and use ^Wf to open the file under the cursor in a *new* window :-) (that said, I think the OP was asking for a visual inclusion of the other file which is a lot more challenging to do. I'm of this open-in-a-new-window school, too) -tim :help CTRL-W_f -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.

See the contents of an included file
Hi, I'm a tech writer and I use Vim for all my writing. Currently we are authoring in Markdown. To save time and keep consistency, I've been using include files for boilerplate text. It is usually of a form: #include doc/site/pages/include/sample.tmpl Just having that line in another file, I was wondering if there was a way I could expand the contents, temporarily, so I could read the text in the current flow while still keeping it in its include location? Kind of like folding/unfolding. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Russ -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
