Do you open and close vim every time you edit a different file, or a file on a different folder?

Do you open and close vim every time you edit a different file, or a file on a different folder?
- wladimir 14y agoAt least I don't. tabbed vim, combined with vim --servername and --remote-tab works great.
- nostrademons 14y agoI typically use tabs & multiple windows with gvim and have all the files I need to touch for a given commit open at once. Then when I commit, I close everything so I can flush it out of my brain and not need to deal with it. I'll usually close stuff when I get >6-10 editor tabs open as well; I don't like having things open that I can't mentally keep track of. (I do the same thing with browser tabs; I rarely have more than 6 browser tabs open, while a lot of my coworkers will have 20-30, so many that you can't see the titles on each.)
