I'm an avid user of the new tabbed interface in Vim 7, maybe because I never understood how to use hidden buffers effectively.
One of the things I dislike about Vim's tabs is that when I close one, by means of :q or ZZ, its buffer is not deleted. This means that my Vim accumulates open file descriptors and swap files all over the place, unless I periodically fix the situation by hand with :ls and :bd Is there a reason for this bizarre behaviour? I usually open files with :tabe when I need them, switch tabs, do my job, and close them with ZZ or :q when my focus shifts to other files or when I see too many tabs on the screen. Is this usage pattern suboptimal? Tobia PS I find these handy: map <F11> gT map <F12> gt
