> In the spirit of Cunningham's Law, you can open multiple files using emacsclient. Just list them after emacsclient (e.g. 'emacsclient file1.txt file2.txt'). This will open each file in its own buffer (roughly the equivalent to tabs).
emacs buffers are (almost exactly) equivalent to vim buffers. vim tabs don't really have an analogue in emacs, but imagine several layouts of (emacs) windows (each window showing a single buffer) you can switch between in a single frame.
- NoGravitas 11y agoThat's actually how emacs frames work on the terminal. There's no built-in equivalent on GUI. You could use either multiple GUI frames and a tiling window manager, or there are several packages on melpa for switching between window configurations.
