|
|
example one maybe editing a header file and a source file at
|
|
the same time. To edit more than one file at a time,
|
|
invoke VIM using the following command

> It may be useful while coding if you could see both the files
|
|
at the same time and switch between the two. In other words,
|
|
it would be useful if the screen was split and you could see
|
|
the header file at the top and the source file at the
|
|
bottom. VIM has such a command to split the screen. To invoke
|
|
i, simply say
|
|
<B
|
|
CLASS="COMMAND"
|
|
> :split
|
|
</B
|
|

</P
|

|
|
> The same file will be displayed in both the windows. Whatever
|
|
command is invoked, will affect only the window in focus. So
|
|
one can edit another file in another window by using the
|
|
command
|
|
<B
|
|
CLASS="COMMAND"
|
|
> :e file2
|

</B

</P
|

|
|
> After executing that command, you'll find that there are two
|
|
files visible. One window shows the first file and the other shows
|
|
the second file. To switch between the files one has to use the
|
|
keystroke <B
|
|
CLASS="KEYCAP"
|
|
>CTRL-W CTRL-W</B
|
|
>. To learn more about
|
|
split windows, just run help on it.
