Question

If I have a Vim window open with 2 splits in it (3 total buffers visible) and I’ve adjusted the viewport of each split, then I close one buffer, the other two buffer’s viewport’s are automatically resized.

Is there a way to maintain or at least better scale the split when I close a buffer?

1) Vim window with three splits, custom size:   +---+-------+---+   |   |       |   |   | 1 |   2   | 3 |   |   |       |   |   +---+-------+---+ 2) Close buffer 3, splits are resized to 'best fit':   +-------+-------+   |       |       |   |   1   |   2   |   |       |       |   +-------+-------+ 3) I want it to stay like this, resize only adjacent buffer:   +---+-----------+   |   |           |   | 1 |     2     |   |   |           |   +---+-----------+

set noea 

In other words:

set noequalalways 

See equalalways in the Vim documentation.
