when you open a second file with `e: <filename>', vim opens a new buffer with the file in it. you can list te opened files with `:ls', the file marked with % is de one that is visible. to switch between files you can hit `:bnext' or <ctrl>-^ to toggle between files. if `<leader> b' is set in your vimrc (don't know, maybe it is default) you can see the list and switch by choosing the other file. when you want to open a file for a second time in another terminal window, it warns you that the file is already opened -- the .swp swap-file. editing a file that is already being edited can corrupt your content. with `:bd' you can close a buffer the right way and the .swp file belonging to it will be destroyed automatically. basically there is no really a need to open a second terminal window with a new instance of vim. keeping all together and switching buffers permits copy-paste etc between files in a much easier way. seeing two different files in one terminal window can be done with the `:split' command //meine -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
