In the following examples, I'm using [c-] for holding down control while hitting other keys. [c-a,B] means hold down control and hit lower case a and then upper case B. I.e. press control, press and release the 'A' key, press shift, press and release the 'B' key, release control.

Window (viewport) management.

Make first (topleft window current):
  c-w t

Change current window to full-width
in top position:
  c-w K

Change current window to full-height
in left-most position:
  c-w H

To change terminal with a single vertical split
to a single horizontal split:
  c-w t c-w K

To go horizontal split to vertical:
  c-w t c-w H



Resizing viewports.
  3 ctrl-w +    increase height by 3
  3 ctrl-w -    decrease height by 3
  3 ctrl-w >    increase width by 3
  3 ctrl-w <    decrease width by 3
  ctrl-w =      equalize width and height, all windows
