In point of fact, I can. I suspect fully half of us use and enjoy the 'hidden' setting and the wonderful features it provides, like the ability to scrap an unwanted window layout without saving buffers. > If the buffer have been saved, does you lose any important data? Yes, the window layout is itself important data. Losing a complex window layout is annoying, and it would be extremely un-Vimmish to make it easy to accidentally do so by default. This is a particular factor for those of us who work daily with hardware of differing sensitivities, and even software with completely different focus models. Imagine working a few hours on a click-to-focus system. To switch to Vim and switch a tab you would click and click again -- for efficiency, and from habit, you'd just aim straight for the tab, causing the focus to shift, and then the tab to be opened. Now imagine you go and work a few more hours on a mouse-focus system, suddenly you're closing tabs all over the place. Throw in something with a slightly indeterminate focus model, like OS X, and you can get very confused indeed. Regards, Chris Allen
