How do I split the window vertically in Vim?

:vsplit

The :vsplit command (or :vs for short) splits the current window vertically, creating a new window side-by-side with the current one.

<C-w>+ and <C-w>-

The + and - commands increase or decrease the height of the current split window by one line.

<C-w>T

The T (Ctrl+w then Shift+t) command moves the current split window into a new tab page.

:tabnew filename

The :tabnew filename command opens a file in a new tab page in Vim.

:terminal

The :terminal command opens an interactive terminal emulator directly inside a Vim window.

<C-w>=

The = (Ctrl+w then =) command resizes all open split windows so they have equal width and height.

:only

The :only command closes every window in the current tab page except the one your cursor is in.

<C-w>c

The c (Ctrl+w then c) command closes the current window without closing the buffer it contains.

:windo diffthis

The :windo diffthis command activates Vim's built-in diff mode across all visible windows, highlighting the differences between them.
