Tidy Split Layout in Vim

Use Ctrl-w o to keep only the current window or Ctrl-w = to equalize split sizes. These commands tidy multi-window layouts quickly.

Commands you practise

Ctrl-wo
Close all windows except the current one. Use Ctrl-w o to quickly clear away split clutter and focus entirely on your active buffer.
Ctrl-w=
One split hogging the screen? <C-w>= instantly deals every window a fair share.

Levels

  1. Solo Workspace (easy): Clear away the split clutter with a single shortcut, then change the debug flag to False.
  2. Solo Spotlight (medium): Dismiss all cluttering split windows to focus on your target, then update the deployment status to done.
  3. The Great Equalizer (hard): Equalize the chaotic split layout, copy the sys_val to user_val, and keep only the active window.

Each level opens a real Neovim session in your browser with a start file and a target file. Edit one into the other in as few keystrokes as you can, then race the vimbot's solution.
