+=================================================================
+
+In Normal mode, press Ctrl-w to open the Window menu, which displays
+a list of available commands.
+
+To open a new empty buffer in a vertical split on the right half
+of your current window, use Ctrl-w nv (i.e., press Ctrl
+and w simultaneously, then press n, followed by v). Your current
+window will now split in 2 vertically. A new empty buffer split
+will appear on the right half and your cursor will jump to the
+new vertical split.
+
+To create a new empty buffer in a horizontal split, press
+Ctrl-w ns. This action divides your current window into two
+horizontally, creates a new buffer, and moves your cursor to the
+new horizontal split.

+=                CHAPTER 13.2 MOVE BETWEEN SPLITS               =
+=================================================================
+
+Use Ctrl-w k to move to the split above your current split. Use
+Ctrl-w j to move to the split below. Use Ctrl-w h to move to
+the split on the left and Ctrl-w l to move to the split on the
+right. To navigate to the next split (in the order they were
+opened), press Ctrl-w w.
+
+You can now do whatever you want in your new buffers and splits.
+Once you are done with using your new buffer split,
+you can close it with Ctrl-w q . Move to the bottom right split
+with Ctrl-w l then Ctrl-w j, then press Ctrl-w q to close this
+specific split.
+
+You can also close all splits except the current one with Ctrl-w o .
+Open a third vertical split with Ctrl-w nv , then move to the
+leftmost split with Ctrl-w h twice, then from inside the split on
+the left press Ctrl-w o to close all except this split.

+=================================================================
+
+Use Ctrl-w s to split the view of the current buffer horizontally
+and Ctrl-w v to split it vertically with the buffer opened in both
+splits.
+
+Close extra splits with Ctrl-w o to return to a single window view.

+=================================================================
+
+The :vsplit (or :vs for short) and :hsplit (or :hs) commands can
+also be used to split a specific buffer vertically or horizontally.
+For example, enter the command:
+
+:vs something
+
+to open a new vertical split named "something" to the right. Here,
+"something" is not an existing file, so a new buffer with this name
+will open; however, you can replace "something" with any file name
+to open it in a new buffer. Similarly, you can enter the command:
+
+:hs some_more
+
+to open a new buffer named "some_more" in the lower half.
+"some_more" could be any file or path to open this specific file
+or path instead of a new empty buffer.

+=                  CHAPTER 13.5 SWAPPING SPLITS                 =
+=================================================================
+
+Open a split on the left with :vs hello1 and then a split below
+with :hs hello2.
+
+From hello2, press Ctrl-w K to swap it with the split above. Now
+hello2 is at the top while hello1 is at the bottom.
+
+Still from hello2, press Ctrl-w H to swap with the split on the
+left: now hello2 is on the left and the tutor is on the top
+right. After Ctrl-w you can use HJKL to split with the buffer
+on the left / below / above / on the right.
+
+Move back to the tutor split, and press Ctrl-w o to only keep
+this split.

+with :vs hello2.
+
+Move to the tutor split, then press Ctrl-w t to transpose the
+vertical split opened from this window: now, hello1 and
+hello2 are below, rather than to the right of, the tutor. Press
+Ctrl-w t again to transpose back.
+
+Move to the hello1 split, then press Ctrl-w t to transpose the
+horizontal split that was opened from this window: now hello2
+is on the right, rather than below, hello1. Press Ctrl-w t to
+transpose back.

+Splits can also be opened directly from the file picker. Press
+space f to open the file picker. From there, you can type in text
+to perform file lookup with fuzzy matching, and use the arrows
+up and down to move the selected file (indicated by the > symbol).
+If you want to exit the file picker, press Escape.
+
+Select any file you like in the file picker. You could open it in
+the current view by pressing enter (do not do this at present).
+But you can also open it in a new split. Press Ctrl-v to open
+the selected file in a new vertical split. Press space f again,
+select any file you want, and press Ctrl-s to open it in a
+horizontal split.
+
+Move back to the tutor split, and press Ctrl-w o to close all
+splits except this one.

+
+Splits can be used to display either the same buffer several times
+or several buffers. To access the main windows and splits commands,
+press Ctrl-w . You can move between splits with Ctrl-w hjkl ,
+you can close a split with Ctrl-w q , and you can close all but
+the present split with Ctrl-w o .
+
+Splits can also be opened by using the :vs FILENAME and
+:hs FILENAME commands.
+
+Splits can also be used directly from the file pickers, by using
+Ctrl-v to open the file selected in a new vertical split, and
+Ctrl-s in a horizontal split.
