vsplit spanning over all buffers

[Tobias Pflug]

hi all,

short question that I couldn't answer myself using the vim help..
How can I get a vertical split that spans over all previously opened
buffers? (like a 'side pane' sort of thing) ?

thanks for any help..

regards,
Tobi

IIUC, you're looking for

:topleft vsplit file.txt

The topleft (and its analog botright) modifier/command clears 
all windows, pegging the new window against the associated side.


You can read more at

:help topleft
:he botright
