# ❗ vim(9.0.0667) deprecates this plugin

A new option is now available in both vim(9.0.0667) and neovim(0.9) that should replace this plugin.

The new `'splitkeep'` option offers two new available behaviors.

* `set splitkeep=screen` keeps the same screen screen lines in all split windows and is the most "stable" to me.

* `set splitkeep=topline` keeps the same topline as an alternative.

# Not maintained anymore

There are issues with this plugin, but I've decided that I'm not going to try to maintain it.  

I also converted my nvim config to lua and am trying to use only lua based plugins.

A good lua based plugin that solves this same problem, and even better: [stabilize.nvim](https://github.com/luukvbaal/stabilize.nvim)

# stable-windows

Keeps vim windows stable when layout changes.

It really annoys me when opening new windows in vim (especially

using the quickfix or location list) and vim automatically

adjusts the text in all the windows so the cursor line is 

centered.

This is what I'm talking about:

And after using the 'stable-windows' plugin, your vim will

behave like this:

## Installation

* VimPlug  

  Place this in your .vimrc:  

  `Plug gillyb/stable-windows`

  And then open vim and run:  

  ```bash

  :source %

  :PlugInstall

  ```

* Vundle  

  Place this in your .vimrc:  

  `Plugin gillyb/stable-windows`

  And then open vim and run:  

  ```bash

  :source %

  :PlugInstall

  ```

* NeoBundle  

  Place this in your .vimrc:  

  `NeoBundle gillyb/stable-windows`

  And then open vim and run:  

  ```bash

  :source %

  :NeoBundleInstall

  ```

* Pathogen  

  Run the following in a terminal:  

  ```bash

  cd ~/.vim/bundle

  git clone https://github.com/gillyb/stable-windows

  ```

## Usage

You do not need to do anything special (except installing)

to use this plugin. Once it's loaded in vim, it will just

work.

Please enjoy, feel free to contribute and keep on vimming.
