I use a similar layout. Sometimes I'll have a header file open in a separate window so I can rapidly check the names of flags or fields, but I like to keep that window small: perhaps four lines. I've never been happy with the way equalalways worked because with it on it wrecked my small window every time I split the main window, and with it off three successive splits mean I'm left working in an eighth of the available space instead of a quarter: typically four lines in the active window instead of the nine I'd get with an equal distribution. -- Matthew Winn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
