Well, you could disable split-windows and tabpages by using a Vim build
compiled without the +windows feature, maybe a "tiny" build as is
available as "vi" on some Linux distribution such as RedHat if you
install the vim-minimal package; but AFAIK you couldn't disable the use
of multiple buffers where only one of them is visible at a time, the
other ones being hidden (see ":help 'hidden'").
However that would seriously cripple Vim, reducing its advantage over
the built-in editor of your IDE to a negligible or even negative value.
Consider: +windows is regarded as one of the most basic features of Vim,
even more so than +eval, since "small" builds have split windows but no
expression evaluation. IOW a -windows build would probably also have no
autocommands and therefore no filetype detection, no syntax
highlighting, no spell-checking, no auto-indenting...
Best regards,
Tony.
