It requires a modified setup, but you can set vim up to open multiple unsaved files in a single process. Not splits ir windows, but buffers. I have bindings set up to quickly do :bn and :bp and :bd. Your tmux usage sounds like mine, and if you did not know that there was depth to vim buffers this may be valuable to you.
- kbenson 9y agoI'm aware of stuff like that, and things like nerdtree. In the past, I've had many boxes I might end up on so I kept coming relatively stock to the distribution. In the last four to five years it's been primarily one box, so I've finally started putting in more advanced features slowly. There are benefits to being comfortable in a somewhat stock Vin, and there are benefits to having it highly customized. I find the benefits imparted might be outweighed by the discomfort when it's not as you expect if your work flow forces that situation on you, so as my work flow has changed with the type of work I do, I've tried adopting different vim strategies.
