If he's trying to accomplish what I do when I try this, here's the
reasoning behind it:
1. I've opened a diff of 2 files
2. I find a place I want to look at in more detail in one of the files
3. The diff is interfering with my ability to look at just 1 file, so
I want to view the file without the diff
4. But, I want the diff to remain open for later, so
5. I decide to open the file in a new tab, preferably without the
diff, but leaving the diff open in the current tab
But, if you just :tabe %, it doesn't work, as described.
I've usually worked around this by fixing things up after the :tabe %
using :diffthis and :diffoff, but I was also hoping there was a better
way.
