Hi thanks for helping me last time - and i hope im explaining this
ok.
I have pydiction and it works fine now but
Is there any way to automatically open gvim and have a left column
window for the current directory list, the large main window for
editing the file and the Bash terminal at the bottom and possibly
below that, the python command line. I know how to do this in the main
window. Which is ideal for small screens, but on my desktop with the
larger screen it would be a real time saver for me.
I'm not sure what you mean. For several windows inside of Vim, see
:help :split
:help :vsplit
:help :new
:help :sview
etc.
See also
:help tabpage.txt
About running Bash inside of Vim, see
:help design-not
You may invoke Bash from Vim but not in a window, see
:help :shell
There are some plugins to open the directory tree in a vertically-split
sidebar-like window in Vim, or you could just use
:left sv %:p:h
to view the directory of the current file.
Whatever the width of your monitor, you can, since you use gvim, make
your Vim screen any width that fits in it, see
:help 'lines'
:help 'columns'
Some (but not all) terminal emulators can be resized by the same means:
IIUC, xterm is one of them.
What to do automatically at startup can be determined by a vimrc and
optionally by a session script, see
:help vimrc
:help -S
If you want to open several Vim instances side-by-side (or maybe partly
overlapping), you can: just launch Vim a second time. Of course, they
won't share buffers or registers (other than the clipboard if they have
access to it).
Best regards,
Tony.
