emacs split into 3 even windows
Solution 1:
C-x 3
twice followed by C-x +
to equally size all windows.
Solution 2:
To specify the number of characters in the split window, do:
C-u number-of-characters C-x 3
Solution 3:
I have the following in my .emacs
:
(defadvice split-window-horizontally (after rebalance-windows activate)
(balance-windows))
(ad-activate 'split-window-horizontally)
this makes emacs call rebalance-windows
(which is what C-x +
is bound to by default) after every resize. It's not what I want all the time, but I want it much more often than the default behavior.
Solution 4:
add in .emacs
. I mapped to C-x 4, but anyone has a better idea?
(defun split-3-windows-horizontally-evenly ()
(interactive)
(command-execute 'split-window-horizontally)
(command-execute 'split-window-horizontally)
(command-execute 'balance-windows)
)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x 4") 'split-3-windows-horizontally-evenly)
Solution 5:
(defun wenshan-split-window-vertical (&optional wenshan-number)
"Split the current window into `wenshan-number' windows"
(interactive "P")
(setq wenshan-number (if wenshan-number
(prefix-numeric-value wenshan-number)
2))
(while (> wenshan-number 1)
(split-window-right)
(setq wenshan-number (- wenshan-number 1)))
(balance-windows))
This function can be used to split the current window into N windows, you can type "C-u 3 M-x wenshan-split-window-vertical" to achieve what you want.
