Open demo files, enter:

  $ vi /tmp/foo /tmp/bar

OR

  $ vi /tmp/{foo,bar}

To list open files:

  :ls

Sample outputs:

 1 %a   "/tmp/foo"                     line 1
 2      "/tmp/bar"                     line 0

To switch to next file:

  :n

OR

  :bn

To switch to previous file:

  :p

OR

  :bp

To open specific file buffer called 10 (use :ls command to list all open file buffers):

  :b10

You can also switch between all open files, using the following syntax:

  :b foo

OR

  :b bar

Modern text editor such as vim supports enhanced tab completion to get list of open file:

  :b [HIT-TAB-KEY]

To save currently open file:

  :w

To split the current window vertically:

  CTRL+W v

To split the current window horizontally:

  CTRL-W s

To switch between vertically open windows i.e. navigate through open windows:

  CTRL-W h

and/or

  CTRL-W l

To switch between horizontally open windows i.e. navigate through open windows:

  CTRL-W k

and/or

  CTRL-W j

Once switched you can load file using any one of syntax as discussed above:

  :n
  :b10
  :p

From Stackoverflow

In $MYVIMRC, add the line:

  set guifont=DejaVu\ Sans\ Mono:h11

…where :h11, specifies a height of 11 points.
