possible to specify height/width when using %s/%v to run external command ?

Question

Hi,

When comparing files under 2 folder, I normally select 2 files, then use

:!vim -d %f %F %s

To open vimdiff to compare selected files' content, this is very helpful.

One thing I want to tweak is: is it possible to pass the width or height for the new split multiplexer window ? I know tmux has this capability, not sure if I can specify that config through %s or %v command macro.

Thanks.

Hi,

No macros for that, but you can do that explicitly:

 :!tmux resize-pane -y 10 && vim -d %b %s

This works well, thanks!
