open command in a new window

[!TIP|label:reference:]

• windows.txt - new CTRL-W n CTRL-W_n CTRL-W CTRL-N CTRL-W_CTRL-N :[N]new [++opt] [+cmd] :new Create a new window and start editing an empty file in it. Make new window N high (default is to use half the existing height). Reduces the current window height to create room (and others, if the 'equalalways' option is set and 'eadirection' isn't "hor"). Also see ++opt and +cmd. If 'fileformats' is not empty, the first format given will be used for the new buffer. If 'fileformats' is empty, the 'fileformat' of the current buffer is used. This can be overridden with the ++opt argument. Autocommands are executed in this order:
  1. WinLeave for the current window
  2. WinEnter for the new window
  3. BufLeave for the current buffer
  4. BufEnter for the new buffer This behaves like a ":split" first, and then an ":enew" command.
