gt and gT in command mode also do next tab and previous tab

  Awesome, I didn't know this shortcut before! Much better than using :tabn :tabp !

  also #gt will go that tab number. I've changed my tab text to show the number in parenthesis before the name.
  • solutionyogi 17y ago
    That's a neat idea. How do you change it to show tab number in the tab header?
    • bockris 17y ago
      This is for GVIM. set guitablabel=(%N%M)\ %f

    For those who prefer alt navigation, you can add to your gvimrc " tab navigation map <A-1> 1gt map <A-2> 2gt map <A-3> 3gt map <A-4> 4gt map <A-5> 5gt map <A-6> 6gt map <A-7> 7gt map <A-8> 8gt map <A-9> 9gt map <A-0> 10gt

      What is that heretical "g" doing in front of "vimrc"?
      • graywh 17y ago
        Maybe it's some config he only uses in gvim.
        • apotheon 17y ago
          Whoosh . . . ?
      • graysnorf 17y ago
        You know, if I had a terminal emulator that I could run vim with 24-bit colour depth in, that would go a long way towards turning me from the path of heresy.

    This also works with Vimperator. I'm now thinking about installing that Firefox extension that gives all the tabs numbers, for ease of reference. Alas, I don't remember what it was called -- but I'm sure I'll find it again.
• apotheon 17y ago
  I never bothered to learn that stuff before I started using Vimperator. I tend to prefer buffers over tabs for dealing with multiple files in a single Vim instance, so I never had much use for tab-related keybindings until I started using a vi-like interface for a tabbed browser. Maybe that's just me, though.
