BufferTabs: Split screen shouldn't duplicate all tabs
Submitted by turtlecove on Wednesday, 6 December, 2006 - 20:20
The title says it all. When using BufferTabs if you split the screen BufferTabs happily duplicates ALL of the tabs in each split screen. If I have a lot of buffers open this can waste 1/3 of my screen real estate!
Of course, the tabs should be shown ONCE across the bottom and not duplicated when the view is split.

you can disable buffer tabs "on the fly" by using the plugin menu (there's a checkbox for buffer tabs). But I know that's only a partial solution, I used to use BufferSelector also that hasn't this behavior (but has some other problem that should be improved, along with the fact that it seems like it's not mantained since 2002)
 
You can also use BufferList

I will usually shut off buffer tabs if I have oodles of files open with split panes, and use BufferList and BufferSwitcher. Clicking the file in the BufferList focuses on the pane that was displaying the file.

As for having the BufferTabs only show once across the top, I personally like having them duplicated across the panes so I can see really quickly which files are open where and quickly switch the pane to another file. If you only had one tab section at the top, how would you assign a file to that particular pane? I'm sure duplicating them in each pane makes things a lot easier to manage.

Learn from the past. Live in the present. Plan for the future.
