Is it possible to open VIM not in full screen?

Question

Sometimes I need to edit a small config file and return to my terminal workflow. Opening VIM by default will cover the entire screen, just for a small change.

Is there any option to open vim, not in fullscreen? If not, is there any terminal text editor that can do that?

Answer 1

Unfortunately Vim doesn't provide any way to modify your terminal window. But you can use terminal emulators like Tmux for multi-window support. And don't forget that you can do :vert term in Vim to split your window, but with some limited possibilities
