Almost: to have the help window open full-height
:set helpheight=99999
to allow non-current windows to shrink to only a status line
:set winminheight=0
(Optional) to make the current window full-height when it is a "plain"
non-help edit window (squeezing other split-windows)
:set winheight=99999 noequalalways
To do all the above with a single command:
:set noea wmh=0 wh=99999 hh=99999
Notes:
* 'winminheight' is a hard minimum. If
(&lines < ((winnr('$') * (&wmh + 1)) + (&wmh == 0))
(assuming all splits are horizontal) you get an error. (The term (&wmh
== 0) is there because the current window always has at least one line
visible.)
* 'winheight' and 'helpheight' (which apply only to the current window)
are not hard values. If there isn't enough space to make the windows
that high, you get what is available.
* The above is what I call "Rolodex Vim": non-current windows are
reduced to status lines above and below the current window, like the
non-current pages in a Rolodex above and below the page you're looking at.
If you use the -o command-line switch and want to have it open _all_
editfiles, wait until the VimEnter autocommand event before you set
'winheight' to a high value. You can place the full ":set" command for
Rolodex Vim in a VimEnter autocommand, as follows:
" set up Rolodex Vim
if has("windows")
if has("autocmd")
augroup rolodex
au VimEnter * set noea wmh=0 wh=99999 hh=99999 cwh=99999
augroup vimrclocal
else
set noea wmh=0 wh=99999 hh=99999 cwh=99999
endif
endif
('cwh is 'cmdwinheight', for the history window opened by q: q/ or q?)
Best regards,
Tony.
