but then you can't yank and paste between buffers since you will be using seperate vims. you can try dwm.vim (https://github.com/spolu/dwm.vim) if you have spare keybindings. if you are still not convinced and want to use screen, i recommend tmux since you can split both horizontal and vertical.

dwm. A while back, I stumbled across dwm.vim[0] which, although clunky at times, has proven itself to be really useful in my Vim workflow. It was inspired from the actual dwm[1] project which I looked into later. The key bindings are quite different from Vim, but are easy to pick up on the whole. Prior to dwm, I ran WindowMaker well beyond its prime (as in, I dropped it less than a year ago). I still have a sweet spot in my heart for that WM.

This has been changed to ^h (https://github.com/spolu/dwm.vim/issues/2) You still need to download from github at this stage. Will push a new version today. Thanks!

Possible that there is a mapping conflict with some of your scripts. (see https://github.com/spolu/dwm.vim/issues/2)
