It is documented. > 2. In Visual mode Ctrl-O is not needed, but text is unselected (can > restore visual selection with gv) Visual mode is stopped when switching to another tab page.

That is not possible, the font is used for everything, also the command line. The Vim window resizes too. > 5.

Depends on the GUI. My opinion is that the tabs should fit, otherwise the whole purpose of using tabs (accessing them with a single click) is defeated. If really needed, there could be a menu to show the tabs that don't fit. Scrolling the tabs is a really bad solution (Motif does it anyway...). > 6.

What is the previous tab? > Also, next/previous tab in tabline popup menu would be convenient. That is more work than clicking in the tab, doesn't make sense. For some GUIs and with the console a click right of the tab labels cycles through them. -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 69.
