# Rotate The Orientation Of Split Windows
|
|
|
|
Let's say you have a vim session going with a single window/buffer open. If you
|
|
were to then open another file with the split command (e.g. `:sp README.md`),
|
|
then you'd have a horizontal split. With one file above and one file below.
|
|
|
|
You can rotate the orientation of the split to be a vertical split with one
|
|
file on the left and another on the right. You can do this with a _Window
|
|
Command_—`Ctrl-W H` (that's `ctrl-w` and then capital `H`).
|
|
|
|
If you want to go the other direction—from a vertical split to a horizontal
|
|
split—you can use `Ctrl-W J` (that's `ctrl-w` and then capital `J`).
|
|
|
|
This trick only works when there is a split between two windows. When
|
|
additional splits are involved, it will rotate the focused window to that
|
|
orientation and leave the others stacked in their current orientation.
|
|
|
|
See `:h CTRL-W` for more details on these and other Window Commands.
