Nothing surprising in that. The ":tab" prefix will open a new tab in place and stead of a split-window for every commands that opens one except :diffsplit, :diffpatch, :execute or :normal. Similarly, ":bot h" will open the help window (if there isn't one yet) at the very bottom, ":vert h" will split it vertically, etc. Best regards, Tony. -- "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of purge." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
