Hi all!
I've included a patch that adds a setting that defines which tab to select
after a tab is closed. The setting is 'tabcloseleft' or 'tcl' (maybe not the
best name, but it's the best I could come up with), and when enabled causes the
previous tab to be selected, as opposed to the next tab (the current
functionality). The setting is off by default so nothing changes for users that
don't know about it.
Here is an example of what it does. Let's say I have the following tabs:
one [two] three
Tab 'two' is selected (denoted by []). Currently, if I close that tab, tab
'three' will be selected:
one [three]
With ':set tabcloseleft', tab 'one' will be selected:
[one] three
I've tested closing on the first tab, the last tab and every tab in between.
Also, this works regardless of how the tab is closed (:tabclose, closing the
last window in the tab, etc).
This is my first patch, so apologies if I've missed some critical information
in this submission, forgot to modify or add something in code that's necessary
for new settings, overlooked previous attempts at adding this same feature or
missed the ball completely on where you all are trying to take vim. I believe
this to be in line with vim (customizable but fast and unobtrusive), but let me
know if it's not, and if there is anything I can do to fix it.
Thanks!
