i'm a new vim user since 2 weeks and i've currently have my biggest trouble for the moment on vim.
i always have a x and y scrollbar on my vim and the x one is very anoying because it cover my commands.
here is a screenshot of the scrollbars that appears when i use terminal inside of vim using `:term` / `:!dir` or even when i save my vimrc or source it (`:so ~/.vimrc`)
if there is any solutions to it i will be really grateful, thanks for reading
This is an issue with your layout settings in Powershell and Ubuntu. Right click on the top bar of either program, go to Properties and then go to the Layout tab. You can check the Wrap text output on resize box and that should get rid of your horizontal scrollbar, thereby allowing you to use Vim as normal. Alternatively, in the same menu, you can decrease the width of the screen buffer size so that it is smaller than the width of the window size.

In Visual Studio Code, Terminal window is some inconvenient because of the width.
I want to widen the width from the end of screen to the end of screen.
Is it possible?
enter image description here
As far as I'm aware, no, this isn't possible to some extent, but perhaps there are some extensions you could search around to see if they can do something similar.
Remember that using your PC's command terminal is also an option.
However, I've found that minimizing the left sidebar by dragging it to the left is an option, which increases the terminal width to the entire screen if this is what you're looking for:
Note doing that disables you from accessing that entire sidebar unless you drag it out again.
I have a single vim-tab with multible windows. When i change the focus to another (vim-)window, vim seems to impose a minimal window width. For example, if i have 2 open windows split vertically, a change of focus to the right one results in shifting the seperators a bit to the left (1 character, i guess the terminal-width is odd) , and vice versa. This is annoying especially when there are more windows, since moving around changes the layout of the tab.
i tried setting wfw, but now when i open another window (again split vertically) the new one will have width 1, and Ctrl-W = doesn't work any more.
Is there an option to disable resizing on focus change, while still beeing able to Ctrl-W =?
Edit: I'm running vim 7.4, beeing the official debian jessie vim-gnome package. The behaviour is reproducable even without .vimrc. I'm using urxvt, and xterm shows the same behaviour.
I don't know what exactly went wrong, but the problem was caused by using the session file i created with vim-obsession.
Deleting this file and starting a new session fixed the above.
I am using gvim on Windows 7. I just installed NerdTree and observed something abnormal.
Usually I have two application open side-by-side by dragging them the left and right border of screen, and then Windows will automatically adjust the width and positions for them.
So, I have vim and another application open side by side today, and needed to navigate the file system. So I did NERDTreeToggle and all the sudden, my nicely positioned vim jumped to a different position (The default one when starting vim).
I am wondering if there is anyway to prevent this from happening.
Thanks.
This is probably caused because due to the vertical split (of the NERDTree sidebar), Vim displayed a second scrollbar (on the left), and that causes the Vim window to increase its width, and that made it "break out" of your layout.
You can avoid that second scrollbar via
:set guioptions-=L
Making the transition from Vim to gVim, I would like to disable all toolbars and scrollbars. This works for the most part, but when I open a vertical split, under certain conditions, a scroll bar pops up on the left. If you open the second picture in a new tab, you can see my vim options for disabling the toolbars/menubars/scrollbars in the bottom right window. How do I get rid of them for good?
Before:
After:
You show what you've turned off from your guioptions but not what remains. In any case, the solution's in there. I'd start with turning off both r and R, and l and L. If the problem persists, go with
set guioptions=
and then add an item one by one (those which you need)
set guioptions+=...
This is really the best way to debug it :)
I have only =aem in guioptions, and don't see any scrollbars or anything of the kind.
When I open gvim -S (with a session) my split screens' widths are screwed up and I have to manually adjust them.
Is there a shortcut to make all split screens the same width ?
Thanks
This should normally work:
C-w= see window-resize
There are exceptions with windows that maintain a minimum/maximum width. This is frequently the case with 'sidebar' style plugins (taglist, nerdtree); In which case it is probably only what you wanted when they don't resize.
From the vim help pages:
CTRL-W = Make all windows (almost) equally high and wide, but use
'winheight' and 'winwidth' for the current window.
Windows with 'winfixheight' set keep their height and windows
with 'winfixwidth' set keep their width.
