How can I maximize a split window?


Invoking :help in Vim, I got the help manual page with split window. I want to maximize the help manual window and close the other window.

How can I do this? What is the Vim command to do this?


Solution

  • With :help [topic] you open up a topic that interests you.
    Ctrl-Wo will minimize the other windows (leaving only the help window open/maximized).
    (Ctrl-Wo means holding Ctrl press W, and then o)
