I wanted to open a new tab, to edit three files, splited in their own three windows.
I tried ":tabe file1 file2 file3", vim complained "Only one file name allowed". Then I tried ":tabnew" and ":sp file1 file2 file3", it also didn't work. My proposal: Open N tabs with :tabe file1 file2 ... fileN Open a new tab, with N splited windows with :tabe -s file1 file2 ... fileN Split N windows with :sp file1 file2 ... fileN What do you think? -- Rodolfo Borges
