I am new to Vim. I am wowed by the massive amounts and locations of
documentation available for Vim. The only other project that I have
ever seen with this much information is Perl. I salute the developer
and all who maintain the docs.
I have tried to find an answer to my question but no luck. I have a
simple question that is not a show stopper of any kind.
When opening one file. Is it possible to open it in a split view? When
I read this I thought it was possible to open one file and have a
split view at the start.
*-o*
-o[N] Open N windows, split horizontally. If [N] is not given,
one window is opened for every file given as argument. If
there is not enough room, only the first few files get a
window. If there are more windows than arguments, the last
few windows will be editing an empty file.
I know I can type :split once the file is open and get the split I
want. If the answer to my question has been answered before I
apologies because I could not find it in spite of or because of the
large amount of information available. If anyone has an effective
method for actually being able to find answers in all that
information, I would like know. I went to the FAQ and didn't see
anything about this I also followed the FAQ suggestions for reading
the mail list archives. I could not find them on www.gmane.org and
there was nothing about my question in the few parallel questions I
found at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/vim. Now I am going to go
back and learn about the tab stuff I saw.
