Currently I have a cabbrev to change h to bot h (actually, in Vim 7 "and
later" it is an <expr> abbrev in order to avoid expanding except at the
start of a : line). I was wondering what would happen if I decided to
expand to tab h instead.
Experiment shows that ":tab help" not only opens a new tab even if there
already is a help window in the current tab, it always opens a new tab
even when there already exists a tab with _only_ a help window and
nothing else (and even if that help window is open on the same helptag).
Best regards,
Tony.
