Vertical split about vimteractive HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @AlexisRenchon. I agree that this would be great functionality to have, and that the most vim-like way of doing it would be with a :vertical command modifier.

I've spent some time looking into this, and unless I'm mistaken it's not possible to access command modifiers through vimscript, only the full C API, so the implementation that you suggest with the :vertical command modifier I don't think is going to be possible.

There is a reasonable half-way solution you can use now, which is to run :Ijulia as before, and then key <ctrl>-w H, or <ctrl>-W L which should move the split as you require (note the capital H).

A more long-term solution would be to have a vimteractive parameter g:vimteractive_vertical that you can set in your .vimrc, which would then toggle what the default splitting behaviour is. Would this suffice? I've put in a potential PR #21. If you clone down the vertical_option branch and install from that, could you test that out and see if that works for you?

Hi @williamjameshandley , thank you so much for the fast reply and branch!
I copied #21 , and added - let g:vimteractive_vertical = 1 " Vertically split terminals - to my .vimrc file. It works well.
Note that it puts the terminal (julia for me) on the left, and I prefer to have it on the right. But using Ctrl-w Ctrl-r swap the two windows, so this is fine.

EDIT: also, the option of having ctrl-S going to the next line would be nice too!

Many thanks @AlexisRenchon I've now merged that into master.

I think this would be a breaking change, but an alternative keyboard shortcut could provide this functionality. If you're able to have a go at implementing and testing this yourself, then feel free to submit it as a PR. You should raise this as a separate issue regardless.
