23 ============================================================================== | |
24 1. Introduction *tab-page-intro* | |
25 | |
26 A tab page holds one or more windows. You can easily switch between tab | |
27 pages, so that you have several collections of windows to work on different | |
28 things. | |
29 | |
30 Usually you will see a list of labels at the top of the Vim window, one for | |
31 each tab page. With the mouse you can click on the label to jump to that tab | |
32 page. There are other ways to move between tab pages, see below. | |
33 | |
34 Most commands work only in the current tab page. That includes the |CTRL-W| | |
698 | 35 commands, |:windo|, |:all| and |:ball| (when not using the |:tab| modifier). |
36 The commands that are aware of other tab pages than the current one are | |
37 mentioned below. | |
674 | 38 |
39 Tabs are also a nice way to edit a buffer temporarily without changing the | |
40 current window layout. Open a new tab page, do whatever you want to do and | |
41 close the tab page. | |
42 | |
43 ============================================================================== | |
44 2. Commands *tab-page-commands* | |

49 tab page (up to 'tabpagemax'). See |-p| |
674 | 50 |
706 | 51 A double click with the mouse in the non-GUI tab pages line opens a new, empty |
52 tab page. It is placed left of the position of the click. The first click | |
53 may select another tab page first, causing an extra screen update. | |
54 | |
844 | 55 This also works in a few GUI versions, esp. Win32 and Motif. But only when |
56 clicking right of the labels. | |
57 | |
706 | 58 In the GUI tab pages line you can use the right mouse button to open menu. |

115 CLOSING A TAB PAGE: | |
116 | |
682 | 117 Closing the last window of a tab page closes the tab page too, unless there is |
118 only one tab page. | |
674 | 119 |
120 Using the mouse: If the tab page line is displayed you can click in the "X" at | |
682 | 121 the top right to close the current tab page. A custom |'tabline'| may show |
122 something else. | |
674 | 123 |
124 *:tabc* *:tabclose* | |
125 :tabc[lose][!] Close current tab page. | |
126 This command fails when: | |
127 - There is only one tab page on the screen. *E784* | |
128 - When 'hidden' is not set, [!] is not used, a buffer has | |
129 changes, and there is no other window on this buffer. | |
130 Changes to the buffer are not written and won't get lost, so | |
6398 | 131 this is a "safe" command. > |
132 :tabclose " close the current tab page | |

238 REORDERING TAB PAGES: | |
239 | |
843 | 240 :tabm[ove] [N] *:tabm* *:tabmove* |
3662 | 241 :[N]tabm[ove] |
843 | 242 Move the current tab page to after tab page N. Use zero to |
682 | 243 make the current tab page the first one. Without N the tab |
6398 | 244 page is made the last one. > |
6775 | 245 :.tabmove " do nothing |
6398 | 246 :-tabmove " move the tab page to the left |
6775 | 247 :+tabmove " move the tab page to the right |
6474 | 248 :0tabmove " move the tab page to the beginning of the tab |
6398 | 249 " list |
6775 | 250 :tabmove 0 " as above |
251 :tabmove " move the tab page to the last | |
252 :$tabmove " as above | |
253 :tabmove $ " as above | |
674 | 254 |
3662 | 255 :tabm[ove] +[N] |
256 :tabm[ove] -[N] | |
257 Move the current tab page N places to the right (with +) or to | |
6775 | 258 the left (with -). > |
259 :tabmove - " move the tab page to the left | |
260 :tabmove -1 " as above | |
261 :tabmove + " move the tab page to the right | |
262 :tabmove +1 " as above | |
263 | |
3662 | 264 |
265 Note that although it is possible to move a tab behind the N-th one by using | |
6775 | 266 :Ntabmove. And move it by N places by using :+Ntabmove. For clarification what |
267 +N means in this context see |[range]|. | |
3662 | 268 |
685 | 269 |
270 LOOPING OVER TAB PAGES: | |
271 | |
272 *:tabd* *:tabdo* | |
6474 | 273 :[range]tabd[o] {cmd} |
274 Execute {cmd} in each tab page or if [range] is given only in | |
275 tab pages which tab page number is in the [range]. It works | |
276 like doing this: > | |
685 | 277 :tabfirst |
278 :{cmd} | |
279 :tabnext | |
280 :{cmd} | |
281 etc. | |
282 < This only operates in the current window of each tab page. | |
283 When an error is detected on one tab page, further tab pages | |
284 will not be visited. | |
285 The last tab page (or where an error occurred) becomes the | |
286 current tab page. | |
287 {cmd} can contain '|' to concatenate several commands. | |
288 {cmd} must not open or close tab pages or reorder them. | |

294 3. Other items *tab-page-other* | |
295 | |
706 | 296 *tabline-menu* |
297 The GUI tab pages line has a popup menu. It is accessed with a right click. | |
298 The entries are: | |
299 Close Close the tab page under the mouse pointer. The | |
300 current one if there is no label under the mouse | |
301 pointer. | |
302 New Tab Open a tab page, editing an empty buffer. It appears | |
303 to the left of the mouse pointer. | |
1118 | 304 Open Tab... Like "New Tab" and additionally use a file selector to |
706 | 305 select a file to edit. |
306 | |
674 | 307 Diff mode works per tab page. You can see the diffs between several files |
308 within one tab page. Other tab pages can show differences between other | |
309 files. | |
310 | |
819 | 311 Variables local to a tab page start with "t:". |tabpage-variable| |
312 | |
824 | 313 Currently there is only one option local to a tab page: 'cmdheight'. |

315 *tabnew-autocmd* |
675 | 316 The TabLeave and TabEnter autocommand events can be used to do something when |
317 switching from one tab page to another. The exact order depends on what you | |
318 are doing. When creating a new tab page this works as if you create a new | |
319 window on the same buffer and then edit another buffer. Thus ":tabnew" | |
320 triggers: | |
321 WinLeave leave current window | |
322 TabLeave leave current tab page | |
6474 | 323 WinEnter enter window in new tab page |
675 | 324 TabEnter enter new tab page |
325 BufLeave leave current buffer | |
326 BufEnter enter new empty buffer | |
327 | |
678 | 328 When switching to another tab page the order is: |
675 | 329 BufLeave |
330 WinLeave | |
331 TabLeave | |
332 TabEnter | |
333 WinEnter | |
334 BufEnter | |
674 | 335 |
678 | 336 ============================================================================== |
337 4. Setting 'tabline' *setting-tabline* | |
338 | |
686 | 339 The 'tabline' option specifies what the line with tab pages labels looks like. |
340 It is only used when there is no GUI tab line. | |
341 | |
678 | 342 You can use the 'showtabline' option to specify when you want the line with |
343 tab page labels to appear: never, when there is more than one tab page or | |
344 always. | |
345 | |
346 The highlighting of the tab pages line is set with the groups TabLine | |
347 TabLineSel and TabLineFill. |hl-TabLine| |hl-TabLineSel| |hl-TabLineFill| | |
348 | |
1118 | 349 A "+" will be shown for a tab page that has a modified window. The number of |
350 windows in a tabpage is also shown. Thus "3+" means three windows and one of | |
351 them has a modified buffer. | |
352 | |
678 | 353 The 'tabline' option allows you to define your preferred way to tab pages |
354 labels. This isn't easy, thus an example will be given here. | |
355 | |
356 For basics see the 'statusline' option. The same items can be used in the | |
357 'tabline' option. Additionally, the |tabpagebuflist()|, |tabpagenr()| and | |
358 |tabpagewinnr()| functions are useful. | |
359 | |
1118 | 360 Since the number of tab labels will vary, you need to use an expression for |
361 the whole option. Something like: > | |
678 | 362 :set tabline=%!MyTabLine() |
363 | |
364 Then define the MyTabLine() function to list all the tab pages labels. A | |
365 convenient method is to split it in two parts: First go over all the tab | |
366 pages and define labels for them. Then get the label for each tab page. > | |
367 | |
368 function MyTabLine() | |
369 let s = '' | |
370 for i in range(tabpagenr('$')) | |
681 | 371 " select the highlighting |
678 | 372 if i + 1 == tabpagenr() |
373 let s .= '%#TabLineSel#' | |
374 else | |
375 let s .= '%#TabLine#' | |
376 endif | |
681 | 377 |
378 " set the tab page number (for mouse clicks) | |
379 let s .= '%' . (i + 1) . 'T' | |
380 | |
381 " the label is made by MyTabLabel() | |
678 | 382 let s .= ' %{MyTabLabel(' . (i + 1) . ')} ' |
383 endfor | |
681 | 384 |
385 " after the last tab fill with TabLineFill and reset tab page nr | |
386 let s .= '%#TabLineFill#%T' | |
387 | |
388 " right-align the label to close the current tab page | |
389 if tabpagenr('$') > 1 | |
390 let s .= '%=%#TabLine#%999Xclose' | |
391 endif | |
392 | |
678 | 393 return s |
394 endfunction | |
395 | |
396 Now the MyTabLabel() function is called for each tab page to get its label. > | |
397 | |
398 function MyTabLabel(n) | |
399 let buflist = tabpagebuflist(a:n) | |
400 let winnr = tabpagewinnr(a:n) | |
401 return bufname(buflist[winnr - 1]) | |
402 endfunction | |
403 | |
404 This is just a simplistic example that results in a tab pages line that | |
405 resembles the default, but without adding a + for a modified buffer or | |
1118 | 406 truncating the names. You will want to reduce the width of labels in a |
678 | 407 clever way when there is not enough room. Check the 'columns' option for the |
681 | 408 space available. |
674 | 409 |
686 | 410 ============================================================================== |
411 5. Setting 'guitablabel' *setting-guitablabel* | |
412 | |
413 When the GUI tab pages line is displayed, 'guitablabel' can be used to | |
414 specify the label to display for each tab page. Unlike 'tabline', which | |
415 specifies the whole tab pages line at once, 'guitablabel' is used for each | |
416 label separately. | |
417 | |
839 | 418 'guitabtooltip' is very similar and is used for the tooltip of the same label. |
419 This only appears when the mouse pointer hovers over the label, thus it | |
420 usually is longer. Only supported on some systems though. | |
421 | |
686 | 422 See the 'statusline' option for the format of the value. |
423 | |
424 The "%N" item can be used for the current tab page number. The |v:lnum| | |
839 | 425 variable is also set to this number when the option is evaluated. |
690 | 426 The items that use a file name refer to the current window of the tab page. |
686 | 427 |
839 | 428 Note that syntax highlighting is not used for the option. The %T and %X |
690 | 429 items are also ignored. |
686 | 430 |
690 | 431 A simple example that puts the tab page number and the buffer name in the |
432 label: > | |
686 | 433 :set guitablabel=%N\ %f |
434 | |
839 | 435 An example that resembles the default 'guitablabel': Show the number of |
1118 | 436 windows in the tab page and a '+' if there is a modified buffer: > |
686 | 437 |
690 | 438 function GuiTabLabel() |
686 | 439 let label = '' |
440 let bufnrlist = tabpagebuflist(v:lnum) | |
441 | |
442 " Add '+' if one of the buffers in the tab page is modified | |
443 for bufnr in bufnrlist | |
444 if getbufvar(bufnr, "&modified") | |
445 let label = '+' | |
446 break | |
447 endif | |
448 endfor | |
449 | |
450 " Append the number of windows in the tab page if more than one | |
451 let wincount = tabpagewinnr(v:lnum, '$') | |
452 if wincount > 1 | |
453 let label .= wincount | |
454 endif | |
455 if label != '' | |
456 let label .= ' ' | |
457 endif | |
458 | |
459 " Append the buffer name | |
460 return label . bufname(bufnrlist[tabpagewinnr(v:lnum) - 1]) | |
461 endfunction | |
690 | 462 |
686 | 463 set guitablabel=%{GuiTabLabel()} |
690 | 464 |
465 Note that the function must be defined before setting the option, otherwise | |
466 you get an error message for the function not being known. | |
467 | |
857 | 468 If you want to fall back to the default label, return an empty string. |
469 | |
470 If you want to show something specific for a tab page, you might want to use a | |
471 tab page local variable. |t:var| | |
472 | |
