Switch Horizontal/Vertical View in Vimdiff

[Roy Fulbright]

How can I switch between horizontal and vertical view of vimdiff display without exiting and re-running vimdiff with the other (horizontal/vertical) display option?

Did you try <C-w>J (or <C-w>K) when you are in vertical split and
<C-w>H (<C-w>L) in horizontal?

I think you may have misunderstood my question. I do not want to switch _between_ the display panes, but rather switch from vertically aligned panes to horizontally aligned panes.

If I would mean switch between panes I would wrote <C-w>j but I wrote
<C-w>J. Use uppercase letters (with capslock or shift).

Hi Roy,

I use these 2:

Vertical Split to Horizontal Split: <C-W>t<C-W>K
Horizontal Split to Vertical Split: <C-W>t<C-W>H

" vertical -> horizontal
:windo wincmd H

" horizontal -> vertical
:windo wincmd K

These will handle multiple vertical or horizontal windows. To make this
even easier, try :TWL with the following plugin:
