I'm a big fan of tmux's window management - it seems a lot more intuitive than vim's, which has never quite clicked with me and I'm not sure why.
Tmux resizes as if you were pushing/pulling at the border of the current window in the direction that you're trying to resize, via the hjkl keys. So if I have two windows stacked on top of each other, and the top pane has focus, hitting <C-b>j pushes the split downwards, growing the top window & shrinking the bottom. If the bottom pane had focus, <C-b>j would pull the split downwards, resulting in the same effect. By contrast, in vim, <C-w>+ increases the height of the current window. Which I can see the logic of, but the key locations (+/- vs </> for the vertical/horizontal resizing) frustrate me, and if you just remap it to hjkl then it feels like it ought to be using the same resize behaviour as tmux. Other niceties from tmux are that you can press <C-b>jjjjj to carry on resizing, whereas in vim you'd have to use <C-w>+<C-w>+<C-w>+<C-w>+<C-w>+. I'd also love to have something like <C-b>spacebar which cycles through a series of preset layouts (vertical split with a small sidebar, equal horizontal split, etc etc). Are there any plugins that tackle something like this? Or any suggestions on learning to cope? Thanks -Jonathan -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
