I'd do it like this. I'd write 4 functions, GetWinOnRight, GetWinOnLeft,
GetWinAbove, GetWinBelow. Each function accepts window number, or
'.' for current window, and returns window number or -1.
Here's how I'd write GetWinOnRight: we try to do "wincmd l". If window
number does not change, we return -1 (we're in rightmost window). If
window number changed, we return its winnr().
function! GetWinOnRight(winnum) " untested
let save_winnr = winnr()
if winnum != '.'
exe winnum."wincmd w"
endif
if winnr() != winnum
return -1
endif
silent! "wincmd l"
if winnr() == winnum
result = -1
else
result = winnr()
endif
"restore window
exe save_winnr."wincmd w"
return result
endfu
Other 3 functions are similar, only use "wincmd h", "wincmd j", and
"wincmd k". Applying those functions iteratively, you can discover
full relation of windows in relation to each other.
