How to get vim like split open (horizontal) in notepad++

I would like to use notepad++ like vim split open in horizontal mode.

Opening files in vertical mode can be done by move file to other view. I need to open files in vertical. Is there any plugin available out.

Open a file to the other view, then rightclick the seperator bar and choose rotate. It will go from horizontal to vertical mode, and back again on another rotate command.

ctrl-w s will split the screen into 2 parts (windows), one above the other. You can switch windows with ctrl-w ctrl-w.

Read more info with :help window ( :help also opens a new window to display the help info :-)

Ah, I misread your question, I thought you wanted to do something in vim instead of the other way round. – wurtel – 2014-09-11T06:40:13.007
