How do you open vimwiki in a new split?

I'd like to be able to open my wiki in a similar way that :vsplit some/file.md works.

Solution

  • This might be a known issue with some terminals, as seen in this answer.

    You can still remap the command if you'd like, for example:

    :nmap <Leader>vs <Plug>VimwikiVSplitLink

    Or if it does not interfere with your bindings:

    :nmap <Leader>vs :VimwikiVSplitLink<CR>

    EDIT

    Now that I finally understood your request, to launch vimwiki from vim in a split you can just chain commands, i.e.:

    :sp | :VimwikiIndex
:vs | :VimwikiIndex

    This should do the trick.

    For remapping, as @DavidVII pointed out, just escape the |:

    nmap <Leader>vs :vs \| :VimwikiIndex<CR>
