Hey! I didn’t know Vim did TABS!!

Filed under: Linux, Programming

See, they just keep adding features. I saw just today that we now have tabs as well as horizontal and vertical window tiles in VIM. Is that crazy or what? I opened a console and typed:

vim -p *.txt

Sure enough — six tabs, one file in each. I’m not calling it a breakthrough, but it’s kinda handy. I can also use :tabf filename to load a file in a new tab.

I might use screen a little less (though vim won’t allow me to detach and reattach later).
