I'd like to be able to delete a buffer in a tab, but still retain the

configure Vim to do this?
Example,
vim file1.txt
:tabe file2.txt
:bd (closes file2.txt as well as the tab. I'd still like to retain
this empty tab.)
Thanks,

You could just use :enew instead of :bd, which will leave you with a
new, empty buffer. Unfortunately, the buffer will still be loaded in
memory (:ls will show it). You could create a function, like the following:
:function! enewbd
:let l:bufnum = bufnum($)
:enew
:bd l:bufnum
:endfunction
this function should fail if the current buffer is still not saved. It
is effective a stronger version of :enew.
