This may help clarify buffers vs. windows & tabs: :help buffers :help window :help tabpage Chasing the web browser analogy, Vim's windows and tab pages loosely correspond to a tabbed browser's tabs, while Vim's buffers are a bit like the browser's cache. Do you mean (dis)advantages of using ‘windows’ vs. using ‘tab pages’? This Vim tip provides many interesting suggestions of things you can do to put Vim's ‘tab pages’ to good use: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Quick_tips_for_using_tab_pages If you enter ‘tabs’ in the wiki's search box you will get a list of all the currently available tips relative to ‘tabs pages’: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Tabs HTH cj -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
