Turns out the commands used before the new layout engine was introduced did *not* use 'split' nor 'vertical split' (which are the commands affected by those two global settings). Instead, it relayed on the fact that 'vim -d' always opens splits vertically and then readjusted window positions with 'wincmd [HJKL]'. The old way was limited in the amount of things that could be achieved and that's why it was changed... but I completely missed those two global settings capable of changing the behaviour of the new commands. > > In order to fix this we can append special keyword 'letfabove' to each > > Presumably "leftabove" was meant here.
