When I use the (horizontal) split feature to open a new window in vim,

vim that would enable me to open the new window at the very bottom? If
not, is there any auto command or something that can have the same
effect?
You don't specify how you're opening a new window, but if you're
using
:split file.txt
you can use
:bot split file.txt
(which you can read about at ":help :botright") to force it to
open at the bottom.
Vim also offers the 'splitbelow' and 'splitright' options that
allow you to set a default direction for the split-window:
:help 'splitbelow'
:help 'splitright'
which you can use to tweak.
