## Windows
`C-w` does window stuff.
```csv
C-w s,split horizontal
C-w v,split vertical
C-w L,move current window to vertical window on the right (think hjkl navigation keys with shift)
C-w H,move current window to vertical window on the left
C-w j,move current window to horizontal window below
C-w k,move current window to horizontal window above
C-w f,open file with name under cursor in new window
C-w gf,open file with name under cursor in new **tab**
C-w |,zoom current window
C-w =,return from zoom
C-w S-t,current window to new tab
```
Press `C-6` to go back.

## g stuff
```csv
gv,go back to last 
gq,break long paragraphs
gJ,join without spaces
```

## joining lines
You can select lines with visual mode, then press `J` or `gJ` and it will join all those lines.
Then if you are at the start of a paragraph, you can use `V}J` to select to the end of the
paragraph and join.
