Take the 2-minute tour ×  How do I have vim and a console in the
same window? For example, I am splitting up the vim window into
multiple windows (vertically or horizontally). What I want is to
have the code window on the left side, and the interpreter or
console or whatever on the right side, so I can easily switch
between them. How does that work? Is there something there for
this?  share|improve this question  7 Answers 7  up vote 11 down

this tutorial  Splitting the screen in half horizontally
share|improve this answer This is the most powerful of them all,
as you can do n-way splits of any console application in both
horizontal and vertical panes. –  Mies Nov 21 '09 at 0:43 Oh
yeah, for a vertical split, press Ctrl+a | . It follows the same
behavior at horizontal splits. –  Mies Nov 21 '09 at 0:45
Thanks, this is exactly what I wanted. –  hyperboreean Nov 21

it 70-30 or 60-40%
