This in itself is pretty cool, but now I'd like to make something even
cooler by hooking up a custom function to do this. This is where I'm
currently failing. What I'd like to see is when I type
:msplit filename*
then this should be equivalent to
:args filename*
:all
where of course msplit stands for multiple split. I don't really know
how vim functions work, so far I was always copy-pasting already
working stuff and only modified them for myself. So based on this
limited experience what I tried was
function! Msplit( expr )
args a:expr
all
endfunction
but this (maybe trivially) doesn't work. What would be the way to do this?
Cheers,
Daniel
