Detachable tabs #213

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be great if MacVim had support for detachable tabs like Terminal.app

This has been discussed a few times in the past on the vim_mac group -- search 
through the archives.

It would be a nice feature, but it is very difficult to implement in a 
satisfactory manner due to the fact that each 
window represents a separate Vim process.  Meaning, you'd have to close the 
buffer in one process and reopen it 
in another with all the problems this leads to (e.g. loss of undo history etc.).

Vim 7.3 has a persistent undo feature. I wonder if there other similar 
workarounds that would make detachable tabs reasonable to implement. It would 
be an exceedingly useful feature.

How about a "close and open in new tab" option? It would be better than nothing.

Would be nice, but vertical split (:vsplit) is good enough for me.

A quick workaround (if you installed the mvim terminal shortcut):

    :mvim %
