For GVIM:
Variable nowfh was already default here.
Variable ea was default, but I set to noea.
Variable eadirection=both was default too.
And set wmw? wmh? were set to default 1.
Now the culprit was your wiw, wh, hh, cwh, pvh values!
My default values were set to something like these:
winwidth=1
winheight=1
helpheight=20
cmdwinheight=7
previewheight=12
And, once I used your wiw, wh, hh, cwh, pvh values, changing focus of the
windowns and window resizing automagically happens now!
(I omitted the 'let netrw_winsize ...' statement as I currently don't want to
resize 100% which would make it look like I have no windows in the buffer.
Guess one could get the status line to display a letter stating there's open
windows, etc... user preference, etc...)
The O'Reilly Learning VIM mentioned something about these values, but gave no
real set values for a reader to try on his/her own VIM session. With your
values, I'm now rolling on customizing to my liking! I never knew VIM could do
this! Wonder why this isn't default or a little easier to get to the default
behavior?
Now putting it all together into .vimrc (as I've got GVIM working above).
But now I notice I cannot use a value greater then 1 for both winminheight &
winminwidth. Using a value other then 0 or 1 (for both variables triggers the
following error on starting vim:
E591: 'winheight' cannot be smaller than 'winminheight': winminheight=2
I don't know about anybody else, but I think I'd prefer to see at least 1 (for
smaller displays), and maybe 3-4 for larger displays. But now I'm also seeing
how the incomplete text on the borders of the split windows can be distracting.
Again, user preference, ...etc.
