Yakov, haven't you got the "if" and "else" switched around? I think the
above will open the file in the current tab *unless* the buffer is
empty, not *only if* the buffer is empty.
Right. Besides, I was missing "|" right after the if expression.
command! -nargs=* -complete=file E if expand('%')=='' && line('$')==1
\ && getline(1)==''' | :edit <args> | else | :tabnew <args> | endif
?
