vimdiff jump to other file or switch windows

This took me quite awhile to find so I wanted to share this with other people.

Code:

To switch windows in vimdiff or 
 to navigate windows in vimdiff or 
 to change windows in vimdiff try the following: 
 The ":vertical" command can be inserted before another command that 
 splits a window. 
 
MOVING BETWEEN WINDOWS 
 
         CTRL-W h        move to the window on the left 
         CTRL-W j        move to the window below 
         CTRL-W k        move to the window above 
         CTRL-W l        move to the window on the right 
 
         CTRL-W t        move to the TOP window 
         CTRL-W b        move to the BOTTOM window 
 
  Moving windows 
 ===== 
 
         CTRL-W K        move window to the upper 
         CTRL-W H        move window to the far left 
         CTRL-W J        move window to the bottom

VIMDIFF(1)						      General Commands Manual							VIMDIFF(1)

NAME

       vimdiff - edit two, three or four versions of a file with Vim and show differences

SYNOPSIS

       vimdiff [options] file1 file2 [file3 [file4]]

       gvimdiff

DESCRIPTION

       Vimdiff	starts	Vim  on  two (or three or four) files.	Each file gets its own window.	The differences between the files are highlighted.
       This is a nice way to inspect changes and to move changes from one version to another version of the same file.

       See vim(1) for details about Vim itself.

       When started as gvimdiff the GUI will be started, if available.

       In each window the 'diff' option will be set, which causes the differences to be highlighted.
       The 'wrap' and 'scrollbind' options are set to make the text look good.
       The 'foldmethod' option is set to "diff", which puts ranges of lines without changes in a fold.	'foldcolumn' is set to two to make it easy
       to spot the folds and open or close them.

OPTIONS

       Vertical splits are used to align the lines, as if the "-O" argument was used.  To use horizontal splits instead, use the "-o" argument.

       For all other arguments see vim(1).
