Hi, I have a small patch that may help others for ftplugin/man.vim.
It adds the ability to open the man page in a vertical split (as well as the default of a horizontal split). It also can swap the splits (so, in the case of the vertical split, the man page window appears on the right rather than the defaul left side). Should I join the vim-dev mailing list and pop it in there? If you are interested, it is: diff -u /usr/share/vim/vim74/ftplugin/man.vim ~/.vim/ftplugin/cca_man.vim --- /usr/share/vim/vim74/ftplugin/man.vim 2015-03-28 09:07:55.000000000 +0000 +++ /home/chris/.vim/ftplugin/cca_man.vim 2015-04-06 08:45:00.625563087 +0100 @@ -1,7 +1,11 @@ " Vim filetype plugin file " Language: man " Maintainer: SungHyun Nam <[email protected]> -" Last Change: 2014 Dec 29 +" Last Change: 2015 Apr 6 +" +" additions to allow vertical splits for the man window +let g:ccamanview="hori" +let g:ccamanpos=0 " To make the ":Man" command available before editing a manual page, source " this script from your startup vimrc file. @@ -145,7 +149,16 @@ endwhile endif if &filetype != "man" - new + if g:ccamanview=="vert" + " split vertically (new splits horizontally) + vnew + else + " split horizontally + new + endif + if g:ccamanpos==1 + wincmd r + endif setl nonu fdc=0 endif endif regards -- Chris Allison -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
