Is there a way to load different colorscheme when using vimdiff (and
different when using vim)?

Sorry for delay.. had more urgent issues to address..

Works out of the box. :-)
You may want to change ft (shortcut to filetype)
I'm having a bit of trouble displaying two help windows side by side.

such as ‘:help folding’ and I want to split the screen vertically so
that I can for instance take a look at relevant Vim options - foldclose,
foldcolumn..
