Vim vsplit redraw

Question

Is it possible to redraw vim's screen if I do the following:

1. Vim in small 80x24 terminal
2. vsplit file2.c
3. Maximize terminal
4. It's all wonkey and I don't know how to make ti redraw the windows evenly.

Answer 1

Also it is possible set an autocommand to perform <C-w>= each time when you resize a terminal.

au VimResized * if &equalalways | wincmd = | endif 

&equalalways is an option that resizes windows to equal after splitting / closing (set by default), so it is quite natural to use it here too.

Answer 2

Try Ctrl-w = in normal mode to make all windows equally sized.

Answer 3

For correctly adapting non-equal window splits, you can try my ProportionalResize plugin.
