Let's say we have 3 buffers (A, B, C) open in Vim arranged as follows
-----------------------------------------
| | |
| | |
| | |
| A | |
| | |
| | |
|------------------| B |
| | |
| | |
| C | |
| | |
| | |
-----------------------------------------
and we want to rearrange it as
-----------------------------------------
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | B |
| | |
| | |
| A |--------------------|
| | |
| | |
| | C |
| | |
| | |
-----------------------------------------
I know I can do this by closing C and reopening it after splitting B. Is there a simple way to do this where I don't have to close buffers and I can rearrange the windows directly?
You wouldn't "close" the buffer C, only the window that displays it.
Vim has dedicated normal mode commands for:
switching a window and the next one in a row or column,
rotating the whole window layout,
pushing a window to the far top, far right, far bottom, and far left,
but it doesn't have one for moving a window to an arbitrary point so, assuming the window you want to move has the focus, the command should look like this:
:q|winc w|sp c
which is not too shabby. You might be able to find a plugin that provides the level of control you are after on https://www.vim.org.

I don't really know how to search for this question or an appropriate title, so I hope that this will make sense.
I'm trying to construct an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of functions of a software that are currently have tests made for them. The spreadsheet looks something like below where A-F are placeholders for the tests and 1-5 are placeholders for functions.
| | A | B | C | D | E | F |
|:-:|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | X | | | | | X |
| 2 | | | | | | |
| 3 | | X | | | | |
| 4 | | | X | | | |
| 5 | | | | X | X | |
I would like to have another column at the end that would do something like this:
| | A | B | C | D | E | F | Tested? |
|:-:|---|---|---|---|---|---|---------|
| 1 | X | | | | | X | Yes |
| 2 | | | | | | | No |
| 3 | | X | | | | | Yes |
| 4 | | | X | | | | Yes |
| 5 | | | | X | X | | Yes |
where the final column is an if statement that will display a conditional string base on if there are any entries in the row. I know that Excel's IF statements work something like this =IF(A1=10,"YES","NO") but I can't think how I would construct an IF statement that would print YES or NO based on whether there are any entries at all in the row.
EDIT: To add a little more detail. I've thought about constructing an IF statement like this: =IF(SUM(C3:AI3)>0, "YES", "NO") and this works essentially if I use 1s or 0s instead of X or O but I'd rather use the latter. Or really I'd just rather use strings instead of integers.
You can use following formula:
=IF(COUNTA(A1:F1)>0,"Yes","No")
You're looking for the ISBLANK function.
Your solution should be something like this:
=IF(ISBLANK(A1:F1), "Yes","No")
I have been using the Notion Window Manager (http://notion.sourceforge.net/) for a few weeks. I was wondering if it is possible to create a keybinding that splits a workspace in the same way that META+S and META+K S splits a frame horizontally and vertically.
So if I had two vertical frames in a workspace like this:
-----
|1|2|
| | |
| | |
| | |
-----
The keybinding to split horizontally should add a new frame that spans the workspace horizontally:
-----
|1|2|
| | |
-----
| 3 |
-----
Currently META+S only splits the selected frame horizontally:
-----
|1|2|
| | |
|-| |
|3| |
-----
Is there any way to accomplish splitting the entire workspace horizontally or vertically in Notion?
The solution I came up with is to add a keybinding to the split_top function in cfg_tiling.lua. To split horizontally I added:
kpress(META.."Z", "WTiling.split_top(_, 'bottom')")
to the WTiling defbindings function. I also added
kpress("Z", "Wtiling.split_top(_, 'left')")
to the submap META.."K" bindings.
The split_top function splits at the root of the split tree. This will create a new frame that splits the entire workspace rather than the current frame.
One sizing issue that I noticed with this approach is that it will try to split the workspace exactly in half. If there is a horizontal frame splitting a workspace split_top will resize it to the smallest size and add a new frame below it. If there is a vertical frame it will become about 10 pixels wide when the new frame is added.
Horizontal size issue. New frames are 0 height:
Start ->Mod1+Z ->Mod1+Z
-1--2-- -1--2-- -1--2--
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
-3----- -3----- -3-----
| | -4----- -4-----
| | | | -5-----
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
------- ------- -------
Vertical size issue. New frames are 0 width:
Start -> Mod1+K Z -> Mod1+K Z
-1----2---- -4--1-2---- -5-41-2----
| | | | || | | ||| |
| | | | || | | ||| |
| |3---| | ||3---| | |||3---|
| | | | || | | ||| |
| | | | || | | ||| |
----------- ----------- -----------
Another issue is the focus does not change to the newly create frame. Hitting Mod1+Z will create the frame but the user has to Mod1+TAB to the frame to manipulate it.
This is a start but a comprehensive solution would check for frames that already split the workspace and split them instead and change the focus to the new frame.
Yes, you can.
You either need to put your binding in the workspace context or from the frame/mplex context you need to look up the managing workspace and then call split on that.
(I'd post code and more concrete terms but I'm not in front of a notion machine at the moment and don't want to confuse things by using the wrong ones.)
I have four windows like this:
| | | |
| A | | |
|_________| C | D |
| B | | |
| | | |
So, how can I change them into this way?
| | |
| A | C |
|_________|______|
| B | D |
| | |
the
ctrl+W/J/K/L
thing is always moving the window to the far other side, I can't use them to do this.
Thanks!
what I can think of is two steps:
move cursor to C, press C-W c to close the window
move cursor to D, press :sp #<enter>
The idea is, close one window(buffer), and reopen it in right place (by sp or vs).
glad to know if there is easier way.
I usually have my Vim screen split into two vertical windows, each of which may be further horizontally split. Sometimes, I want to add or delete a vertical window. Is there a way to detect how many top-level vertical splits there are and add or remove vsplits as necessary?
For example, suppose my screen looks like this:
+--------+--------+
| | |
| | |
+--------+ |
| | |
| | |
| +--------+
| | |
+--------+--------+
I want :Columns 1 to give me
+--------+
| |
| |
+--------+
| |
| |
| |
| |
+--------+
by closing the two right-most windows.
I want :Columns 2 to do nothing, detecting that two columns are already open.
And I want :Columns 3 to give me
+--------+--------+--------+
| | | |
| | | |
+--------+ | |
| | | |
| | | |
| +--------+ |
| | | |
+--------+--------+--------+
I am fine if the function ignores vertical splits within horizontal splits. For example, if I had
+--------+
| |
| |
+---+----+
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
+---+----+
and I ran :Columns 2, I would get
+--------+--------+
| | |
| | |
+---+----+ |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
+---+----+--------+
There is indeed a way, but it is involved; the first step is to count the currently-open vertical windows, and I don’t know of any built-in function that facilitates this. The working approach I found to it is basically to start at the first window (the top of the first — if not the entirety of the first — vertical split), and to then, using wincmd l, move to the next window to the right for as long as wincmd l moves to a new window, adding each to a count of open vertical windows including the first one. (I think this is what Gary Fixler referred to in the comments on the question.)
I started trying to write the code for posting here, and it grew to become larger than any function I would want to put in my ~/.vimrc, so I ended up turning it into a plugin which takes the above approach and provides the :Columns command; see Columcille (on vim.org at http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4742.) The plugin also provides a command for similarly managing horizontal split windows: :Rows divides the current column (or the main window, if there are no open vertical splits) into the specified number of “rows.”
In Vim I tend to open buffers in new vertical splits (with the occasional horizontal split). I keep my code to 80 chars wide, so this works pretty well on large monitors.
I often end up with this window arrangement:
---------------------
| | | | |
| | | | |
------ | A | B |
| | | | |
| | | | |
---------------------
At four or five columns wide, it can start getting a bit too narrow, so then I want to move the windows around so it looks like this:
----------------
| | | A |
| | | |
------ ------
| | | B |
| | | |
----------------
As far as I know, this is impossible to do by moving the windows in Vim.
The only way to get that window arrangement I've found, is to close window A, and then re-open A as a new horizontal split from window B.
Is that correct, or is there a way to move/re-arrange windows like that in Vim? Maybe a plugin?
I'm yet to find anything, so I thought I would ask because I find the opening/closing of windows anoying and breaks my flow.
FWIW, I find the Ctrl-W + J / Ctrl-W + K shortcuts useless, because they make the new horizontal split as wide as the whole screen, rather than splitting with the neighbouring window. I.e. Ctrl-W + J would give me this:
----------------
| | | |
| | | |
------ | A |
| | | |
| | | |
----------------
| |
| B |
----------------
Which is generally never what I want.
If anyone has some ideas, let me know!
There's a plugin that can do exactly what you want. Here's the link : https://github.com/fabi1cazenave/suckless.vim.
