#Tip39: Divide Your Workspace into Split Windows
In Vim's terminology, a window is a viewport onto a buffer.
We can open multiple windows, each containing the same buffer,
or we can load different buffers into each window.
##<C-w>s
divide window horizontally, which create two windows of equal height.
##<C-w>v
split window vertically, which produce two windows of equal width.
Note: you can repeat these commands as often as you like, splitting your workspace again and again in a process that resembles cell division.
Note: Each time we use the <C-w>s and <C-w>v commands, the two resulting split windows will contain the same buffer as the original window was divided.
##:edit
load another buffer into the active window.
##<C-w>s :edit {filename} === :split {filename}
divide our workspace and then open another buffer in one split window while keeping the existing buffer visible in the other split.
Changing the Focus Between Windows
In fact, <C-w><C-w> === <C-w>w, you can press the <Ctrl> key and hold it while typing ww(or wj or any others from the table) to change the active window. It's easier to do that.
##:close
close the active window.
##:only
close all windows except the active one.
