| − | Here is an alternative way to open and navigate tabs in vim7. |
||
| − | |||
| − | add the following to your .vimrc: |
||
| − | <pre> |
||
| − | " tab navigation like firefox |
||
| − | :nmap <C-S-tab> :tabprevious<cr> |
||
| − | :nmap <C-tab> :tabnext<cr> |
||
| − | :map <C-S-tab> :tabprevious<cr> |
||
| − | :map <C-tab> :tabnext<cr> |
||
| − | :imap <C-S-tab> <ESC>:tabprevious<cr>i |
||
| − | :imap <C-tab> <ESC>:tabnext<cr>i |
||
| − | :nmap <C-t> :tabnew<cr> |
||
| − | :imap <C-t> <ESC>:tabnew<cr> |
||
| − | </pre> |
||
| − | |||
| − | bacically you can open a new tab with ctrl-t, go forward through the tabs with ctrl-tab and backwards with ctrl-shift-tab |
||
| − | |||
| − | This way of navigating resembles the way it is done in e.g., Mozilla Firefox. |
||
}} |
}} |
||
| + | Vim 7 introduced {{help|id=new-tab-pages|prefix=no|label=tab pages}} with functions to navigate to different tabs (see [[using tab pages]] or {{help|gt}} or {{help|:tab}}). You might however want to map some of those functions to separate keys. To do so, add the desired snippet to your vimrc. |

||
| − | ---- |
||
| − | This tip is really good. But the key sequences used for switching/creating the tabs is clashing with other features of vim. for example: |
||
| − | * CTRL+T is used for jumping to previous tags [exuberant ctags]. |
||
| − | * CTRL+W is used for jumping to next split window in multiple windows |
||
| − | *CTRL+TAB is captured by KDE itself to switch workspaces. |
||
| − | Can you give a nice key combinations which will work with all these features ?. I know tabs is a new feature of vim7. But this script can become awsome if worked properly on. |

Tip 1221 Printable Monobook Previous Next
created 2006 · complexity basic · author Kim Schulz aka KimuSan · version 7.0
Vim 7 introduced tab pages with functions to navigate to different tabs (see using tab pages or :help gt or :help :tab). You might however want to map some of those functions to separate keys. To do so, add the desired snippet to your vimrc.
Some of the mappings used here interfere with Vim's normal procedures. For example:
- Ctrl-T is used for jumping to previous tags
- Ctrl+W is used as a prefix for the window commands
- Ctrl+Tab is captured by KDE to switch workspaces.
Some mappings might not work in terminal versions of Vim (especially mappings, that use the Alt key or a combination of Ctrl and Shift).
" Tab navigation like Firefox. nnoremap <C-S-tab> :tabprevious<CR> nnoremap <C-tab> :tabnext<CR> nnoremap <C-t> :tabnew<CR> inoremap <C-S-tab> <Esc>:tabprevious<CR>i inoremap <C-tab> <Esc>:tabnext<CR>i inoremap <C-t> <Esc>:tabnew<CR>
You can open a new tab with Ctrl-T, go forward through the tabs with Ctrl-Tab and backwards with Ctrl-Shift-Tab. You can also use Ctrl-PageDown and Ctrl-PageUp to cycle through tabs which works by default in gvim and Firefox.
For opening and closing tabs, you can also add Ctrl-Insert and Ctrl-Delete mappings like this:
nnoremap <C-Insert> :tabnew<CR> nnoremap <C-Delete> :tabclose<CR>
Note, that those keys are only mapped in normal mode, because in insert and visual mode they already have a function.
nnoremap th :tabfirst<CR> nnoremap tj :tabnext<CR> nnoremap tk :tabprev<CR> nnoremap tl :tablast<CR> nnoremap tt :tabedit<Space> nnoremap tn :tabnext<Space> nnoremap tm :tabm<Space> nnoremap td :tabclose<CR> " Alternatively use "nnoremap th :tabnext<CR> "nnoremap tl :tabprev<CR> "nnoremap tn :tabnew<CR>
Those mappings use the easily-reached t key in combination with the well known hjkl navigation keys in normal mode that move the cursor left, down, up or right. tj moves to the next tab, tk moves to the previous tabpage while th and tl move to the leftmost/rightmost tabpage.
For something like gnome-terminal tab-related key shortcuts:
:nnoremap <C-S-t> :tabnew<CR> :inoremap <C-S-t> <Esc>:tabnew<CR> :inoremap <C-S-w> <Esc>:tabclose<CR>
Open files always in new tabs
If you like to open all command line arguments in a new tabpage, use this snippet (but remember, that the 'tabpagemax' setting still applies).
autocmd VimEnter * tab all autocmd BufAdd * exe 'tablast | tabe "' . expand( "<afile") .'"'
The second autocommand creates a new last tabpage for any buffer that is created (e.g. when using :e foobar, the current buffer will remain visible in the current tabpage and the file foobar will be opened in a new tabpage and Vim goes to that tabpage.)
Use <A-Fn> to go to the nth tabpage
You can use ngt to move to the nth tabpage. A handy alternative is to map the first 10 numbers to the Alt-F keys:
nnoremap <A-F1> 1gt nnoremap <A-F2> 2gt nnoremap <A-F3> 3gt nnoremap <A-F4> 4gt nnoremap <A-F5> 5gt nnoremap <A-F6> 6gt nnoremap <A-F7> 7gt nnoremap <A-F8> 8gt nnoremap <A-F9> 9gt nnoremap <A-F0> 10gt
Other customization
Use H and L to move to the previous/next tabpage.
nnoremap H gT nnoremap L gt
That way you can hold down the Shift key while you scroll left and right through the tabs with h and l.
