It is certainly possible if you make your own command/mapping to close tabs rather than using the built-in ways. Make a TabEnter and/or TabLeave autocmd to update a global variable with the tab number of the most recent tab, or a list of most recently visited tabs in order. Then your custom command can simply close the current tab, adjust the tab numbers of the remaining tabs accordingly, then switch to the most recent tab. Be careful not to fire off your autocmd while closing the tab. You can use the 'eventignore' option for this. The tabpagenr() function should be useful for this. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
