What did you do?

Entered :vsp when viewing a file.

What did you expect to happen?

Another editor panel to open vertically to the right of the current editor panel with a view of the same document I had focused when executing :vsp.

What happened instead?

A blank editor panel appeared to the right of the current document.

Technical details:

• VSCode Version: 1.7.1
• VsCodeVim Version: 0.4.1
• OS: Windows 10

oh really? So basically you want to vsp behaves the same way as Code instead of Vim.

@rebornix: Vim opens a new view of the same buffer if you do a vertical split. It behaves exactly like VSCode does in this case. (at least in my case with vim8 and no vimrc).

It is also the case in Vim 7, maybe earlier but it's what I have on hand:

@FSMaxB @chrahunt thanks for your detailed input and help! I didn't take this into consideration. If there is no file name for vsp, the behavior is like invoking Code's splitting window and it may be easy to fix.
