Vim ,window in window?
 

Hi all,

I have a trivial question,please dont mind!
I want my vim to display 3 windows or 3 splits as its called. the reason being.I have a script that needs to be edited in one window and the base script that actually is the one that provides input and some other script that i keep testing my snips of my codes on!
Since i can only have 2 windows open at a time to see the codes legibly I wanted to know how i can split vim to occupy 3 windows at ones.
Or is there any options like window in window?

I am using SXDE 89

Thanks

There are a couple decent cheatsheets.

Use the ':sp' command and the vi window will split itself multiple times. Here's the relevant portion from the link above:

Hope this makes things easier. :)

thank you!

It really helped me a lot!

This was nice , but one more question.
How do i use this split window make changes and run it on that split only?
It is possible or should i use something like a window in window sort of a thing?
If so can you please tell me how i can activate that mechanism?

perhaps something like 'screen' might help. Not just an editor, it allows you to "window" your terminal sessions, split screens, attach and detach sessions (helpful if you're moving between computers a lot), and other features.

Hopefully that will help get you started. :)

Have you tried "gvim"? It is vim with an GUI attached. blastwave.org.
