    <p>If you are editing a file in VIM and then you need to open an existing buffer (e.g. from your buffer list: <code>:buffers</code>) how can you open it in a vertical split?</p> <p>I know that you already can open it with a <em>normal</em> split like:</p> <pre><code>:sbuffer N </code></pre> <p>Wehere <code>N</code> is the buffer number you want, however, the above opens that <code>N</code> buffer horizontally, not vertically.</p> <p>I'm also aware that you can change the window placement after opening and have a Vertical Split like so:</p> <pre><code>Ctrl-W H Ctrl-W L </code></pre> <p>Which will vertically split the window to the right or the left.</p> <p>It seems to me that if there is a <code>sbuffer</code> there should be a <code>vsbuffer</code> but that doesn't exist (not that I am aware of)</p> <p>Also, please note that I am not looking for a plugin to solve this question. I know about a wealth of plugins that will allow you to do this.</p> <p>I am sure I might be missing something that is already there.</p> <p>EDIT: In the best spirit of collaboration, I have created a simple Function with a Mapping if someone else stumbles across this issue and do not want to install a plugin:</p> <p>Function:</p> <pre><code>" Vertical Split Buffer Function function VerticalSplitBuffer(buffer) execute "vert belowright sb" a:buffer endfunction </code></pre> <p>Mapping:</p> <pre><code>" Vertical Split Buffer Mapping command -nargs=1 Vbuffer call VerticalSplitBuffer(&lt;f-args&gt;) </code></pre> <p>This accomplishes the task of opening a buffer in a right split, so for buffer 1, you would call it like:</p> <pre><code>:Vbuffer 1 </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
