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,

1) :bd doesn't really delete the buffer, it only marks it as "unlisted".
":ls!" (with bang) will still list it even after :bdel
2) Use :enew (which doesn't even mark the buffer as unlisted however) to get
an empty tab. You may use :ls thereafter, followed by :bd <number> or :bw
<number> (where <number> is the buffer number) to mark the buffer as unlisted,
or wipe it out.
See
:help :enew
:help :ls
:help :bd
:help :bw
Best regards,
Tony.
