Usage

Add to visrc.lua

local tabview = require('plugins/tabview')
-- If installed throw vis-plug
local tabview = plug.plugins.tabview

vis.events.subscribe(vis.events.INIT, function()
  tabview.init()
end)

Frontend

Available at TabDisplay.

Available commands

• :open <filename> creates new tab. Overriden
• :nexttab / :prevtab: opens next/previous tab. Tabs is cycled
• :tabcount shows tab count. Duplicate proof
• :closetab closes current tab, cancelling changes
  • Don't forget to save them.

Recommendations

There is interesting variants to bind it:

-- View active tab count
vis:map(vis.modes.NORMAL, "<C-t>t", function() vis:command("tabcount") end)
-- List tabs
vis:map(vis.modes.NORMAL, "<C-t>h", function() vis:command("prevtab") end)
vis:map(vis.modes.NORMAL, "<C-t>l", function() vis:command("nexttab") end)
-- Closes tab, like :q!
vis:map(vis.modes.NORMAL, "<C-t>q!", function() vis:command("closetab") end)
