vim split screen

with a tall screen, you can see more lines of code. However a wide screen is preferred for movies. So if I wanted to use a wide screen, is there a way for vim to split the screen and show half on one side, and then the other half on the other side (or however many time it's split)?

Of course:

Re: vim split screen

you could try

man vim

and

vimtutor

Additionally, I found A byte of vim a good read when starting vim.
Occasionally a cheatsheet may come in handy
