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?

What does already work is, for instance

        :sp file1 | sp file2 | sp file3

or (untested; v7 only)

  command! -nargs=* complete=file -bar Split
    \ call s:Split(<f-args>)
  function! s:Split(...)
    if a:0 == 0
      split
    else
      let i=1
      while i <= a:0
        exe "split" a:000[i-1]
      endwhile
    endif
  endfunction
