You cannot do this with tabs. But I think using a plugin for buffer navigation would give you something similar, or you could use multiple split windows to arrange your files in a "Rolodex Vim" style. Some plugins I know of are FuzzyFinder, LustyExplorer, and BufExplorer, but I myself use none of them, so I don't know what they offer. You could also customize you 'tabline' or 'guitablabel' options to make the tab name much shorter so you can fit more items in your Vim window. Keep in mind that tab pages in Vim are really meant to be workspaces, not an easy and intuitive but highly limited "one file per tab" setup common to other editors. That said, I myself use tab pages as my primary organizational tool for files I'm editing in Vim. See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Tabs and especially http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Using_tab_pages within it for some details and tips (including links to the above plugins and a page about using a "Rolodex Vim" setup). -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
