There are commands which override the default behaviour of splitting to the same file - allowing you to open a new file to the right, for example - but ignore that for now.
#EMACS SPLIT WINDOW MANUAL#
You can find out more about how Emacs deals with windows in the Emacs Help manual (C-h i then choose Emacs) - it's under 20 Multiple Windows. (If you're using something like Spacemacs, then there are other, additional, ways of doing all this, but C-x 2 / 3 should always work everywhere). So, as the Emacs commands work in every mode, while there may be some where the evil commands don't, then it may be worth just sticking with the in-built C-x 2 / 3 versions. I don't actually know if there's a difference between split-window-below and evil-window-split etc, but if there is, I can't see it. Evil also has its own equivalents for manipulating the windows. consider using one of those window manager extensions, like edwina, if your requeriments become more complex. There are also commands to move the windows around, make them bigger and so on.Įvil also has evil-window-split (C-w s or C-w C-s) for below, and evil-window-vsplit (C-w v or C-w C-v) for a new window to the right. (split-window-right) (other-window 1) (split-window-below) (other-window -1) set it up manually any time: C-x 3 C-x o C-x 2 C- C-x o.
#EMACS SPLIT WINDOW FULL SIZE#
C-x 1 makes the current window full size again (so destroys the other windows). C-x o (remember 'other') moves to the other window. You can open as many windows onto the same buffer/file as you like by repeating the commands. In standard Emacs, try split-window-below (C-x 2) and split-window-right (C-x 3). (Windows is Emacs' term for the screens within the Emacs program: Frames are what other programs call windows.) By default 'splitting' opens another 'window' onto the same buffer or file. Swaps the current buffer name with the next one along.The technique is called 'splitting' the window, which includes several ways of getting what you want. I recommend mapping it to `C-x v' or `C-x w' depending on which is easier on your keyboard.

"Switch to the buffer in the vertical split to the right whose top See also WindMove, which is part of Emacs. With a prefix arg (just C-u) it will reverse the direction of travel. The other one, other-window-this-column, will move the point to the next window in this column. One of them, other-column, will move the point to the next vertical split. So, I wrote these functions to ease the navigation. The more windows you have open the worse it gets.
However, when you start doing vertical splits it starts getting harder to move to the window you want. Sure, if you’re only doing horizontal splits you’re ok.
#EMACS SPLIT WINDOW HOW TO#
The problem I’ve always had was how to quickly navigate between the various windows. I decided to try using one maximized Emacs Frame instead of multiple frames on the same X desktop.
