Installation and setup

This plugin requires next dependencies:

• middleclass
• animation.nvim — optional: needed if you want animations

Also, if you enable animations, is recommended to set winwidth, winminwidth options to some reasonable and equal values (between 5 and 20 will be OK), and disable equalalways option.

You can install and setup windows.nvim with packer plugin manager using next snippet:

• with animation

  use { "anuvyklack/windows.nvim",
     requires = {
        "anuvyklack/middleclass",
        "anuvyklack/animation.nvim"
     },
     config = function()
        vim.o.winwidth = 10
        vim.o.winminwidth = 10
        vim.o.equalalways = false
        require('windows').setup()
     end
  }
  

• without animation

  use { "anuvyklack/windows.nvim",
     requires = "anuvyklack/middleclass",
     config = function()
        require('windows').setup()
     end
  }
  

Configuration

Read about plugins configuration in the documentation.

Commands

• :WindowsMaximize

  Maximize current window. If the window is already maximized, then restore original sizes. When go to another window while current is maximized - all original sizes will be restored. If the window will be closed while being maximized, then all other windows would be equalized.

• :WindowsMaximizeVertically

  Maximize width of the current window. Almost the same as :vertical resize (see :help CTRL-W_bar) but with animation.

• :WindowsMaximizeHorizontally

  Maximize height of the current window. Almost the same as :resize (see :help CTRL-W__) but with animation.

• :WindowsEqualize

  Equalize all windows heights and widths width animation. (see :help CTRL-W_=)

• :WindowsEnableAutowidth
:WindowsDisableAutowidth
:WindowsToggleAutowidth

  Enable, disable or toggle auto-width feature.

Keymapings

If you want a keymaps thees are a fitting choice:

local function cmd(command)
   return table.concat({ '<Cmd>', command, '<CR>' })
end

vim.keymap.set('n', '<C-w>z', cmd 'WindowsMaximize')
vim.keymap.set('n', '<C-w>_', cmd 'WindowsMaximizeVertically')
vim.keymap.set('n', '<C-w>|', cmd 'WindowsMaximizeHorizontally')
vim.keymap.set('n', '<C-w>=', cmd 'WindowsEqualize')
