Window management commands

[thegrubbsian]

I know almost nothing about Python OR the internals of SublimeText otherwise I'd do this as a pull request but I'd love to see window management commands such as :vs and :sp added. The basic windowing approach seems somewhat different from vim so this may not be able to work exactly as vim does but being able to open a new file in a vertical or horizontal split window would be fantastic.

JC,

I have been wanting that support for a long while and definitely +1 this.
The window vim-ish window splitting should work just fine in Sublime. I
have used it a little in the past, so I might take a crack at it if I can
dig up some free time. Not quite sure when that may be though... ;) Maybe
someone else will beat me to it.

according to this post it should be doable with something like this:

import sublime_plugin

class CloneFileToGroupCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
    def run(self):
        if self.window.num_groups() == 1:
            self.window.run_command('set_layout',
                            {
                                "cols": [0.0, 0.5, 1.0],
                                "rows": [0.0, 1.0],
                                "cells": [[0, 0, 1, 1], [1, 0, 2, 1]]
                            })
        self.window.run_command('clone_file')
        self.window.run_command('move_to_group', {"group": 1})
