ultrawide.vim solves the issue with ultrawide setups where running Vim in fullscreen gives you neck pain. This plugins allows you to run Vim in non-fullscreen and maintain GUI window size and position. It targets only full-height vertical splits where adjusting GUI window geometry makes sense.
- when creating a new vertical split, it increases GUI window width and shifts the window accordingly to the left
- when closing a vertical split, it decreases GUI window width and shifts the window accordingly to the right
