Server is offline already.
So. I will just pretend i read a rant about why it all should be only buffers and tabs and windows be just presentation. And be glad someone took the time to complain about this. Was about time
- anusinha 14y agoit's not quite that. it's a simple tutorial on tabs, buffers, and windows, assumed at beginners.
- pooriaazimi 14y agoDo you have a more advanced tutorial? I couldn't find a more comprehensive/advanced tutorial on vim tabs this morning... Everything I found were mostly about changing keyboard mappings to ease switching between tabs or thing like that.
- johncoltrane 14y agoI'm not aware of such a thing. It would really be useful as too many users think that Vim's "tabs" work the same as other editors tabs.
- tyrmored 14y agoWhat kind of things would you like to know? I'm open to writing a followup.
- pooriaazimi 14y agoI think a more practical one could be useful (this one was philosophical! explaining what these things are); a walkthrough, kinda like: ""press xxx to create a new tab. press xxx to switch to the new one you created. now press xxx to create a new horizontal window. press xxx to switch to it. xxx to create a vertical one... close vi. type vi *.php to open all php files into separate buffers. press xxx to open 1.php and 2.php side-by-side...""
- tyrmored 14y agoI could definitely do something like that. Probably not in the walkthrough style, which I don't really like, but definitely listing keystrokes and commands to use. I'll write and post it sometime in the next week or so, if you're still interested by then. Thanks for the suggestion.
