I really want to use/like Vim. Sounds like I'm going to say it not great, but actually this might be a call for help... I have used Vim for a couple years I think, maybe more now and learned enough to write my own vimrc file from scratch, understanding all the parts I'm adding, what they do and why and sync it via version control etc etc. I use it on every server I administer/whenever I use the terminal. I've added m…
There are many ways, depending on what you specifically need. For the most basic command that will probably work immediately, just start up vim with multiple files like so: vim -p file1 file2 This will open file1 and file2 in separate vim tabs. But vim tabs may not behave the way you would expect them to coming from other programs. You might prefer to just list all the buffers within one window instead. There are man…
I will take a look at these. I think that because I've got lightline installed I'll have to either integrate one of these or just go for one on it's own or something.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It kind of feels like sacrilege though :-)
I don't see why? You can of course create as many horizontal/vertical splits inside each tab as you like.

I used to use bufftabline, https://github.com/ap/vim-buftabline . I think something like it is what you're looking for? If it's not quite right for you the readme in the github repo mentions some other plugins that have similar capabilities. I really liked bufftabline when I used it. It was lightweight and did exactly what I wanted it to do, give me an immediate visual representation of the buffers I had open in a fa…
I really only need this as a crutch to get over the way I previously used graphical text editors. I know some people say go cold turkey and I have for a loooooong time but I need this representation.
I'm not sure it's even a 'bad' thing to do, seems quite handy to see what buffers are open without having to write a command. Plus I have a huge amount of screen real estate so I think this might work well.
Thanks.

I hate to be that guy but most people have moved on from Vundle and use VimPlug now.

Well, in every blogpost about a editor or IDE there's gotta be someone who starts a flamewar. It's my turn I guess. I am a diehard Vimmer. I use Vi bindings system-wide. I've been using Vim for many years. Yet one day I woke up and I realized - Emacs is better Vim than Vim. Vimmers, if you think I'm trolling, try Spacemacs for yourselves. I guarantee - you'd be amazed.
