Maybe I forget to write out my question: why quickfix window incresed when vertical split window more than 2 ?

You're right, and this is annoying.

I've fixed it on the preserve-list-size branch—just for sake of a quick fix I've removed the ability to configure the v and gv list window mappings, so this is going to need a bit more work before I can merge it to master, but if you don't care about controlling exactly what those mappings do then please give it a try!

The way the mappings configuration is handled is pretty silly really, I'm going to redo that completely I think but I'll need to take some steps for backwards compatibility or do a major version bump, so it'll be a little longer before I can finish this.

I'll of course leave this issue open and update it when the fix gets merged to mainline.

Same problem in tab window.

Any chance this is going to enter master soon?

Looking forward for this fix as well. It is quite annoying in terms of usability. Is there any workaround for that ?

It'd be nice to have the fix in master.
