:sp
opens up a split buffer on the top by default.
How do I give the split command so that the new buffer is opened up as the “bottom” buffer right away? (I don’t want to do a C-w-r which I am aware rotates the buffer so that my newly opened buffer gets rotated to the bottom)
:belowright splitwill open the new window on the bottom regardless of whether or not you haveset splitbelow. Similarly,:aboveleft splitwill open the new window at the top regardless of the'splitbelow'setting.
