I’d like to save the files opened in all vertical/horizontal windows? Is it possible without going to each window and executing the :w! command?

To save all and exit, try: `:xa`. – kenorb Apr 18 '15 at 20:53

To save only those buffers that opened in the current tab page and not
those that are hidden, run the :write command for every open window:
:windo w!
In order to save all open buffers regardless of the corresponding
windows’ locations, run the :wall command:
:wa!
There is also a similar command
:bufdo w!
but it does not behave in quite the same fashion. Both commands affect
hidden buffers, but :wall does not attempt to write the buffers
that do not have a file name set.

Use :wall
It writes all changed buffers (but it will also save the hidden one).
