I did shudder, but I'm not gonna begrudge you your way. As long as it works, no need to fix it. I just wanna add that using tabs as buffers will keep you from using tabs as window-manager. I use tabs that way: each tab has a set of windows, split and resized just the way I want. The tabs are separated a/c a context. The context maybe a project (so one tab per project) or a module (one tab for 'src/handle/', another for 'src/menu/'). Use cases: o If I want to open a file without destroying the perfect arrangement of windows I have got going on, I can open the file in a new tab. o If I want to work on a different module, I can: o Open a new tab o ':tcd src/module/' o ':e **/*<tab>' That way I have a new workspace for that module. If you don't require this workflow, or you've got a substitute for it, using tabs as buffers won't be any less pure. If not, maybe you can do a intuitive cost-benefit analysis and see if adopting a different approach (buffers as buffers and tabs as window-manager) seems better. -- Enan 3nan.ajm...@gmail.com https://git.sr.ht/~enan/ https://www.github.com/3N4N -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
