Vim buffer position change on window split (annoyance)

Question

This is really starting to get on my nerves, which is weird because it\'s such a small issue.

Let\'s say I start (g)vim 7.3 (windows OR linux) with no plugins/no vim

Answer 1

I tested it on a Windows machine with gvim and could reproduce your problem, here is a workaround that worked for me adding next commands to vimrc (I got it with :e $MYVIMRC):

set splitright

function MySplit()
    vsplit
    execute "normal \\"
endfunction

nmap v :call MySplit()
