# Close All Other Windows
|
|
|
|
Opening split windows can be useful in a number of circumstances. Eventually
|
|
though, you are going to want to go back to just one window. Generally when
|
|
this happens to me, I navigate to each of the other split windows that I
|
|
don't want and execute `:q`. What I want to do is essentially close all the
|
|
other split windows except for my current one. Vim provides a single command
|
|
for doing this. By hitting
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<CTRL>w <CTRL>o
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
all other windows are closed leaving the current window as the only one on
|
|
the screen.
|
|
|
|
If you want this command to be able to work with windows containing modified
|
|
buffers, you are going to want to have the `hidden` option turned on.
|
|
|
|
See `:h CTRL-W_CTRL-O` for more details.
