But "tab page" is a decent name in my opinion, and :tab is a good way to get to a tab page. The only real difference between Vim's tabs and other tabs is that Vim tabs are not bound to a single file. > Are buffers always attached to one tab (workspace)? No. And trying to do so is bound to cause frustration as I mentioned earlier. > If I open files with > > --remote-tab-silent > > They end up in a tab but also in a buffer. If I then close the tab I > still have them in my buffer. Very confusing. Quite simple, really. * 1 file per buffer, and a file always has a buffer. Buffers is how you would previously edit multiple files in full-screen fashion. * A window is a view-port onto a single buffer. You can have any number of view-ports to the same buffer, hence any number of windows per file. * A tab contains any number of windows. Each window in a tab page can view any loaded buffer. Hence, any number of files per tab, and any number of tabs per file (because the buffer viewports can be in any tab). One potentially confusing behavior is that quitting a window with :q or :close or even :tabclose does not delete the buffer being viewed. This may be the source of some of your confusion. There are reasons for this, one of which would be to allow the same file to be open in multiple windows and/or tabs without a :close on one window causing problems in others. If you know for certain that this is the only window/tab in which the file's buffer is being viewed, you can use :bd instead of :q to close it, and the buffer WILL be deleted. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
