If all your windows are horizontally split, the number of windows is limited by the following equations: &lines >= &cmdheight + (Nw - 1) * (&wmh + 1) + max(&wmh + 1, 2) &cmdheight >= 1 &wmh = &winminheight >= 0 i.e., - the command-line occupies 'cmdheight' lines (minimum 1) - each window occupies at least 'winminheight' lines, plus one for the status line - in addition, the current window cannot be less than 1 line high (plus one for the status line). The above is slightly inexact: if ((Nw=1 && &laststatus=1) || &laststatus=0), then the bottom window doesn't have a status line. How large your 'lines' option can get depends (in console Vim) on your terminal or terminal emulator, or (in gvim) on your screen resolution and on the 'guifont' (face and size) you are using. So if you set 'winminheight' to (&lines - &cmdheight - !!&laststatus), you can only have one window per tab (not counting vertically split windows); but I guess that if you try to split it (using :split and not :tab split) you won't get an additional tab but an error. "tab" is not a valid setting for 'switchbuf' according to my options.txt
True
(for Vim 7.0, dated 2006 Jun 28); "usetab" means "open the new buffer in a different tab if it is already loaded there". Best regards, Tony.
Thing is, the vim's tabpage mechanism is just not the way all tabbed apps work. I've spent a whole day searching for a solution with no luck though. I guess I'm searching in the wrong place, but how hard it is to implement and option that let you choose for a single tabpage per buffer ? -- Regards, Groleo!
