I can't believe they talked about MiniBuffExplorer and didn't mention Vim 7's tabs.
- graywh 17y agoWhy? Because you think Vim's tabline is a replacement for :ls<CR> ? I talk to a lot of people trying to use Vim's tabs the way other editors use tabs--to list the open files--but it doesn't always work.
- tokipin 17y agojust wanna mention my setup, which is to bind the tabs to Alt+number keys: map <A-1> 1gt map <A-2> 2gt map <A-3> 3gt . . .
- itodd 17y agoI don't think it's a replacement for :ls<CR>. I simply think it is worth mentioning both in an article called "Vim made easy...".
- graywh 17y agoSorry. That's what I assumed since you compared tabpages to MiniBuffExplorer. MBE does what a lot of people think the tabline should do, but doesn't.
- asb 17y agoDefinitely. At first I made the mistake thinking that tabs were there to help me manage my buffers (and used them for this purpose, remapping :e to :tabe), but it turns out that instead they're just workspaces, which isn't what I actually want most of the time. I use buftabs (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1664 http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1664) to display the list of open buffers in the status line, and map the right and left arrows to :bnext and :bprev.
