Not maintained anymore
There are issues with this plugin, but I've decided that I'm not going to try to maintain it.
I also converted my nvim config to lua and am trying to use only lua based plugins.
A good lua based plugin that solves this same problem, and even better: stabilize.nvim
stable-windows
Keeps vim windows stable when layout changes.
It really annoys me when opening new windows in vim (especially using the quickfix or location list) and vim automatically adjusts the text in all the windows so the cursor line is centered.
This is what I'm talking about:
And after using the 'stable-windows' plugin, your vim will behave like this:
Installation
-
VimPlug
Place this in your .vimrc:
Plug gillyb/stable-windows
And then open vim and run:
:source % :PlugInstall
-
Vundle
Place this in your .vimrc:
Plugin gillyb/stable-windows
And then open vim and run:
:source % :PlugInstall
-
NeoBundle
Place this in your .vimrc:
NeoBundle gillyb/stable-windows
And then open vim and run:
:source % :NeoBundleInstall
-
Pathogen
Run the following in a terminal:cd ~/.vim/bundle git clone https://github.com/gillyb/stable-windows
Usage
You do not need to do anything special (except installing) to use this plugin. Once it's loaded in vim, it will just work.
Please enjoy, feel free to contribute and keep on vimming.
