# Horizontal to Vertical and Back Again

If you have two Vim windows open with a horizontal split and you want to quickly switch them to be vertically split, you can type the following two key bindings:

```
Ctrl-w t
Ctrl-w H
```

To go from vertically split windows to horizontally split windows you can instead use:

```
Ctrl-w t
Ctrl-w K
```
