Use buffers, or split windows, or tabs, with the understanding that: A tab contains any number of windows A window shows a single buffer A buffer can appear in any number of windows (even zero) in any number of tabs What Simon is pointing out, is that "tab" is a bad name for the "tab pages" in Vim, because users expect them to act like tabs in other text editors, where you are locked into a single file per tab, and only one tab per file. In Vim, a tab-page is really more like a "workspace" which you can use for a large variety of things. See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Tabs for some ideas and details. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
