People,

Genearlly I use Chrome for my "standard" windows, FF for my RoundCubeMail client and Brave as the general purpose browser.

Now that I am making increasing use of VimB, I need to start replacing some of the extensions I use in the other browsers - one of these is TabFern which is really nice for grouping a whole lot related tabs together in appropriate windows, and sorting, re-arranging, saving and re-opening these groups. I want to do something similar with VimB.

I realise that "tabs" are separate windows in VimB but that is OK - is there some way of saving all the VimB windows I have open to a specifically named file (ie NOT bookmarks) - maybe in an approp subdir - and then be able to open all the bookmarks in this group file as a VimB batch somehow?

Thanks, Phil.

That would be difficult to build into vimb, but perhaps with a bit of scripting it can be done? Maybe a small script to add the current window to a bookmark list, close the window, and repeat until all windows are closed?

@Sadoon-AlBader ,

Ah, that sounds promising - where can I find some existing scripts that I can look at for hacking around? - are they ordinary shell scripts?

Thanks!
