| 9 The commands which have been added to use multiple tab pages are explained | |
| 10 here. Additionally, there are explanations for commands that work differently | |
| 11 when used in combination with more than one tab page. | |

| 22 ============================================================================== | |
| 23 1. Introduction *tab-page-intro* | |
| 24 | |
| 25 A tab page holds one or more windows. You can easily switch between tab | |
| 26 pages, so that you have several collections of windows to work on different | |
| 27 things. | |
| 28 | |
| 29 Usually you will see a list of labels at the top of the Vim window, one for | |
| 30 each tab page. With the mouse you can click on the label to jump to that tab | |
| 31 page. There are other ways to move between tab pages, see below. | |
| 32 | |
| 33 Most commands work only in the current tab page. That includes the |CTRL-W| | |
| 698 | 34 commands, |:windo|, |:all| and |:ball| (when not using the |:tab| modifier). |
| 35 The commands that are aware of other tab pages than the current one are | |
| 36 mentioned below. | |
| 674 | 37 |
| 38 Tabs are also a nice way to edit a buffer temporarily without changing the | |
| 39 current window layout. Open a new tab page, do whatever you want to do and | |
| 40 close the tab page. | |
| 41 | |
| 42 ============================================================================== | |
| 43 2. Commands *tab-page-commands* | |

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

| 303 | |
| 706 | 304 *tabline-menu* |
| 305 The GUI tab pages line has a popup menu. It is accessed with a right click. | |
| 306 The entries are: | |
| 307 Close Close the tab page under the mouse pointer. The | |
| 308 current one if there is no label under the mouse | |
| 309 pointer. | |
| 310 New Tab Open a tab page, editing an empty buffer. It appears | |
| 311 to the left of the mouse pointer. | |
| 1118 | 312 Open Tab... Like "New Tab" and additionally use a file selector to |
| 706 | 313 select a file to edit. |
| 314 | |
| 674 | 315 Diff mode works per tab page. You can see the diffs between several files |
| 316 within one tab page. Other tab pages can show differences between other | |
| 317 files. | |

323 *tabnew-autocmd* |
| 675 | 324 The TabLeave and TabEnter autocommand events can be used to do something when |
| 325 switching from one tab page to another. The exact order depends on what you | |
| 326 are doing. When creating a new tab page this works as if you create a new | |
| 327 window on the same buffer and then edit another buffer. Thus ":tabnew" | |
| 328 triggers: | |
| 329 WinLeave leave current window | |
| 330 TabLeave leave current tab page | |
| 6474 | 331 WinEnter enter window in new tab page |
| 675 | 332 TabEnter enter new tab page |
| 333 BufLeave leave current buffer | |
| 334 BufEnter enter new empty buffer | |
| 335 | |
| 678 | 336 When switching to another tab page the order is: |
| 675 | 337 BufLeave |
| 338 WinLeave | |
| 339 TabLeave | |
| 340 TabEnter | |
| 341 WinEnter | |
| 342 BufEnter | |
| 674 | 343 |
| 678 | 344 ============================================================================== |
| 345 4. Setting 'tabline' *setting-tabline* | |
| 346 | |
| 686 | 347 The 'tabline' option specifies what the line with tab pages labels looks like. |
| 348 It is only used when there is no GUI tab line. | |
| 349 | |
| 678 | 350 You can use the 'showtabline' option to specify when you want the line with |
| 351 tab page labels to appear: never, when there is more than one tab page or | |
| 352 always. | |
| 353 | |
| 354 The highlighting of the tab pages line is set with the groups TabLine | |
| 355 TabLineSel and TabLineFill. |hl-TabLine| |hl-TabLineSel| |hl-TabLineFill| | |
| 356 | |
| 1118 | 357 A "+" will be shown for a tab page that has a modified window. The number of |
| 358 windows in a tabpage is also shown. Thus "3+" means three windows and one of | |
| 359 them has a modified buffer. | |
| 360 | |
| 678 | 361 The 'tabline' option allows you to define your preferred way to tab pages |
| 362 labels. This isn't easy, thus an example will be given here. | |
| 363 | |
| 364 For basics see the 'statusline' option. The same items can be used in the | |
| 365 'tabline' option. Additionally, the |tabpagebuflist()|, |tabpagenr()| and | |
| 366 |tabpagewinnr()| functions are useful. | |
| 367 | |
| 1118 | 368 Since the number of tab labels will vary, you need to use an expression for |
| 369 the whole option. Something like: > | |
| 678 | 370 :set tabline=%!MyTabLine() |
| 371 | |
| 372 Then define the MyTabLine() function to list all the tab pages labels. A | |
| 373 convenient method is to split it in two parts: First go over all the tab | |
| 374 pages and define labels for them. Then get the label for each tab page. > | |
| 375 | |
| 376 function MyTabLine() | |
| 377 let s = '' | |
| 378 for i in range(tabpagenr('$')) | |
| 681 | 379 " select the highlighting |
| 678 | 380 if i + 1 == tabpagenr() |
| 27903 | 381 let s ..= '%#TabLineSel#' |
| 678 | 382 else |
| 27903 | 383 let s ..= '%#TabLine#' |
| 678 | 384 endif |
| 681 | 385 |
| 386 " set the tab page number (for mouse clicks) | |
| 27903 | 387 let s ..= '%' .. (i + 1) .. 'T' |
| 681 | 388 |
| 389 " the label is made by MyTabLabel() | |
| 27903 | 390 let s ..= ' %{MyTabLabel(' .. (i + 1) .. ')} ' |
| 678 | 391 endfor |
| 681 | 392 |
| 393 " after the last tab fill with TabLineFill and reset tab page nr | |
| 27903 | 394 let s ..= '%#TabLineFill#%T' |
| 681 | 395 |
| 396 " right-align the label to close the current tab page | |
| 397 if tabpagenr('$') > 1 | |
| 27903 | 398 let s ..= '%=%#TabLine#%999Xclose' |
| 681 | 399 endif |
| 400 | |
| 678 | 401 return s |
| 402 endfunction | |
| 403 | |
| 404 Now the MyTabLabel() function is called for each tab page to get its label. > | |
| 405 | |
| 406 function MyTabLabel(n) | |
| 407 let buflist = tabpagebuflist(a:n) | |
| 408 let winnr = tabpagewinnr(a:n) | |
| 409 return bufname(buflist[winnr - 1]) | |
| 410 endfunction | |
| 411 | |
| 412 This is just a simplistic example that results in a tab pages line that | |
| 413 resembles the default, but without adding a + for a modified buffer or | |
| 1118 | 414 truncating the names. You will want to reduce the width of labels in a |
| 678 | 415 clever way when there is not enough room. Check the 'columns' option for the |
| 681 | 416 space available. |
| 674 | 417 |
| 686 | 418 ============================================================================== |
| 419 5. Setting 'guitablabel' *setting-guitablabel* | |
| 420 | |
| 421 When the GUI tab pages line is displayed, 'guitablabel' can be used to | |
| 422 specify the label to display for each tab page. Unlike 'tabline', which | |
| 423 specifies the whole tab pages line at once, 'guitablabel' is used for each | |
| 424 label separately. | |
| 425 | |
| 839 | 426 'guitabtooltip' is very similar and is used for the tooltip of the same label. |
| 427 This only appears when the mouse pointer hovers over the label, thus it | |
| 428 usually is longer. Only supported on some systems though. | |
| 429 | |
| 686 | 430 See the 'statusline' option for the format of the value. |
| 431 | |
| 432 The "%N" item can be used for the current tab page number. The |v:lnum| | |
| 839 | 433 variable is also set to this number when the option is evaluated. |
| 690 | 434 The items that use a file name refer to the current window of the tab page. |
| 686 | 435 |
| 839 | 436 Note that syntax highlighting is not used for the option. The %T and %X |
| 690 | 437 items are also ignored. |
| 686 | 438 |
| 690 | 439 A simple example that puts the tab page number and the buffer name in the |
| 440 label: > | |
| 686 | 441 :set guitablabel=%N\ %f |
| 442 | |
| 839 | 443 An example that resembles the default 'guitablabel': Show the number of |
| 1118 | 444 windows in the tab page and a '+' if there is a modified buffer: > |
| 686 | 445 |
| 690 | 446 function GuiTabLabel() |
| 686 | 447 let label = '' |
| 448 let bufnrlist = tabpagebuflist(v:lnum) | |
| 449 | |
| 450 " Add '+' if one of the buffers in the tab page is modified | |
| 451 for bufnr in bufnrlist | |
| 452 if getbufvar(bufnr, "&modified") | |
| 453 let label = '+' | |
| 454 break | |
| 455 endif | |
| 456 endfor | |
| 457 | |
| 458 " Append the number of windows in the tab page if more than one | |
| 459 let wincount = tabpagewinnr(v:lnum, '$') | |
| 460 if wincount > 1 | |
| 27903 | 461 let label ..= wincount |
| 686 | 462 endif |
| 463 if label != '' | |
| 27903 | 464 let label ..= ' ' |
| 686 | 465 endif |
| 466 | |
| 467 " Append the buffer name | |
| 27903 | 468 return label .. bufname(bufnrlist[tabpagewinnr(v:lnum) - 1]) |
| 686 | 469 endfunction |
| 690 | 470 |
| 686 | 471 set guitablabel=%{GuiTabLabel()} |
| 690 | 472 |
| 473 Note that the function must be defined before setting the option, otherwise | |
| 474 you get an error message for the function not being known. | |
| 475 | |
| 857 | 476 If you want to fall back to the default label, return an empty string. |
| 477 | |
| 478 If you want to show something specific for a tab page, you might want to use a | |
| 479 tab page local variable. |t:var| | |
| 480 | |
