This will wreck havoc if you ever intentionally split the help window, for example to view two help topics side by side. I would lean toward something like this, were I to want an automatic method: au bufwinenter *.txt \ if &filetype=='help' | wincmd p | \ if &filetype!='help' | wincmd p | wincmd T | \ else | wincmd p | endif | \ endif Probably I would tweak this to not actually switch the window but use a function to retrieve the option value without switching windows, but this seems to work fairly well in a few minutes of testing. I normally just prefix the :tab though, and don't really feel the need for any automatic method. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
