copied!<p>In answer to your question about opening up a tab as output, I don't think there's any built in way to do this. There's the <a href="http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2511" rel="nofollow noreferrer">RunView plugin</a> (see my answers to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3922561/sending-email-from-vim/3922642#3922642">this question</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3797294/annoyance-when-running-scripts-in-vim-windows-ruby">this one</a>), but I don't think that it supports using a separate tab (it works with a split window: what I think you refer to when you say 'view').</p> <p>Regarding an interactive console: no, this is not possible. See <code>:help design-not</code>.</p> <p>As for general use of Vim, try to get used to the idea of buffers and the fact that each 'view' (my term), whether it be a split window, a tab or whatever is just a means of looking at a particular buffer. You can have multiple views on a single buffer, so you can have a source file vertical split with two headers in one tab and the same source file vertically split with another header and a different bit of the same source file in another tab. This is very powerful once you get used to it. The <code>Ctrl-W</code> keyboard shortcuts are your friend (e.g. <code>Ctrl-W, h</code> to go left one window).</p> <p>As for changing a tab into a split window, I don't think there's a direct way to do this (how would Vim know which tabs you wanted to join?). You can break a split into a tab with <code>Ctrl-W + T</code>, but to go back you'd have to create a couple of mappings. This is off the top of my head but something like this might work:</p> <pre><code>command! TakeThis let takebufnr = bufnr("")<CR> command! SplitTaken exe 'split #' . takebufnr<CR> nmap ,t :TakeThis<CR> nmap ,s :SplitTaken<CR> </code></pre> <p>Then press <code>,t</code> on the buffer you want to grab and <code>,s</code> on the one you want to split with the 'taken' buffer.</p>
