Ah, thanks for explaining that. I knew that making that
replacement solved the problem but didn't know why.
I had used a shell script to fix the problem. Since I don't
know how to do a multi-line replace is SED, I used console
Vim as a super SED! The one-liner is simply:
vim -u NONE -i NONE -Nnes "+%%s/tabnew\nedit/tabedit/|wq" %1
where '%1' is the placeholder for the sessionfile and '%%s'
is needed in 4nt because '%s' would be thought of as an
environment variable. This was an interesting and
productive exercise, because it taught me how to use console
Vim as a very powerful "batch" tool (I had never used the
'-es' combo before).
This afternoon, I wrote a ':command' to do this within Gvim
(or Vim) for my _vimrc:
com! -narg=1 MS mks! <args>
\|sil sp <args>
\|sil %s/tabnew\nedit/tabedit/
\|sil w
\|bw
\|redr!
\|echohl Warning
\|echomsg "Session saved using tabedit"
\|echohl NONE
This works fine.
One last question is how can I get my restored session to
have buffer numbers 1 - n instead of 2 - n+1 (which is the
way mksession does things)?
