oh, hey. I had that in my RSS reader until last week. I was reading
too many blogs so I deleted everything. I'll add that one back in.

the quality sux but the conversion to flv was blowing up on my box -
i'll try again tomorrow. until the low-quality version and link to
full res is here.

just a quick overview - but maybe it gives the flavour.

it does. muchas gracias. essentially it's a text-only window manager?
Unix is a wonderful thing. and the sl thing is basically saved state,
so you can get the same "windows" back whether you log in from the
same box or remotely.

you mean gvim? does vim do tabs somehow then?


yeah. this is what i use:

cfp:~ > alias|grep screen
alias s='screen -D -R '
alias sdr='screen -d -r '
alias sl='screen -list '



i've tried tags a bit but not lately - should give it another go.
thanks for the tip.


yup, i swear by it. best thing is that moving to linux, using putty on
windows, switching to osx, logging into to a solaris box, working on
fortran, whatever - all use the same 'ide'. this alone buys a ton of
time in the medium to long haul.

cheers.

I don't use GVim because it doesn't work inside screen, but yes, Vim
and GVim both do tabs. Try `:help tab-page-intro` to get an overview.

The basic commands are:

:tabnew -> open a new tab
:tabedit index.rhtml (or :tabe index.rhtml) -> open file index.rhtml
in a new tab
:tabclose (or :tabc) -> close current tab
:tabmove 4 (or :tabm 4) -> move current tab after tab 4

gt (or :tabnext) -> next tab
gT (or :tabprevious) -> previous tab
4gt -> go to tab 4

The excellent and indispensable rails.vim plugin has some nice tab
support features.

I'm not sure if OS X Vim has tab support by default...

well i'll be...

very cool!

that's the other great thing about vim - it takes a lifetime to learn
it all.

'gT' is pretty dang awkward for flipping though - i think i might map
'tn' (tabnext) and 'tp' (tabprevious)

otherwise this might be my new favorite vim feature.

cheers.
