I'm trying to open vim in a format like this, from the command line.

|----------------|
|         |  2   |
|         |------|
|    1    |  3   |
|         |------|
|         |  4   |
|----------------|

If this was in Vim, I could use :vsp :sp :sp :sp. I know that I could split them all vertically or horizontally with -o and -O, but trying to use both opens them all with the first flag mentioned.

Is there a way I could open vim this way?

  • BTW, no need to delete the question... Duplicates can be useful (if properly marked as such) in that they increase the chance someone will find what they're looking for. – filbranden Aug 16 '20 at 22:41

    For future reference, I used vim -c "rightb vsplit file2.txt|split file4.txt|split file3.txt" file1.txt – Eric Chen Aug 16 '20 at 22:52
