Vim: Close a buffer without losing split/window
So you set up 3 split windows and now do you want to close one of them without losing the positioning. The problem is that :bw actually deletes the windows related to the buffer, as doc says: "Any windows for this buffer are closed"
Solution:
:ene | bw #Or put the line below in your .vimrc:
nmap <leader>c :ene<CR>:bw #<CR>And type \c

What about :hide ?
[ You can use ":hide" to close a window without unloading the
buffer. ]

It's the reverse case. Keep the window but close the buffer.
