Re: how to open an already opened file into an new tab?
Great, this works. Another question, :tabe % can open the same file, is there an easy way to open another file which locates in the same or very similar directory of the current file? For example, I am viewing f2 now, and I want to open f3 which is of same directory of f2 and to open f4 whose path is f2 location/../i/f4. Any trick to do this?
