If you have two windows which are horizontally split, and you'd like to make them vertically split instead, the following command sequence works well:
<ctrl-w>t<ctrl-w>H
To orient them back to a horizontal split do this:
<ctrl-w>t<ctrl-w>K
Note that if the top (or left) window is already current you can omit the <ctrl-w>t and simply do <ctrl-w>H or <ctrl-w>K.

Since we are talking about split windows, I've been looking for a way to set a permanent width for a vertical split, to be used as "file selector". Any ideas/pointers?
NerdTree works well for file browsing; I use
map _leader_n :NERDTreeToggle _CR_
(grr tags)
in my bashrc for a quick toggle; really useful.

Fab, thanks for this. The documentation at :h CTRL-W_H describes a manual process this imitates, which is what I've been doing! This saves me loads of hassle. I wasn't aware of these commands. I also like CTRL-W_T.
These commands were addded because somebody needed them. I added the functionality documented at :h blockwise-operators for the same reason. You may not know about those! v_b_I and v_b_A are particularly useful. I hope you find them useful.
Thanks again, al.
