 Unix Tip #4517- July 24, 2025
 
SPLIT SCREEN EDITING  
  
You can split screen  
into multiple windows  
in vi.  
  
(Depending on your  
version of VI)  
  
TO create the empty  
window enter the  
command:  
  
:new  
  
TO move between the  
screens use the  
commands:  
  
To Move to lower window  
j  
  
Move to upper window  
k  
  
TO make the current  
window the only window  
on the screen closing  
all other windows,  
use:  
  
:only  
  
  
VIM supports this  
feature and can be
