gVim: How to open multiple files in its own tab at once?

in most GUI text editor I can use ctrl click to open multiple files at once. I can't do that in gvim.
What the gvim way to do it?
Tnx.

-edit- ...using gui way instead of command line.

Solution 1:

Easy:

gvim -p file1.c file3.c ...

or:

gvim -p *.c

Solution 2:

gVim opens multiple files in buffers.

:tab ball

will open these buffers in their own tabs. I guess you could add this command to your _vimrc to make it happen each time gvim runs.

In Windows: gvimext.dll: Support loading files into a VIM tab

1. Select multiple files (with CTRL-Click)
2. Right-Click to get context menu
3. Click "Edit with single Vim using tabs"

Solution 3:

This is a partial registry fix (selecting multiple files and right-clicking Edit with gVim opens those files in different tabs in the same window)

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\gvim.exe\shell\edit\command]  
@="C:\\Program Files\\Vim\\vim70\\gvim.exe --remote-tab-silent \"%1\""

Solution 4:

You can open multiple files in gvim. After you've selected the files you want to open, right-click and select "Edit with single Vim". Vim will initially display only the first file, but all the file names are in Vim's argument list. Execute

:n

to open each file in the list one at a time (:N to go back), or

:all

to see all the files at once, each in a different Vim window, or

:tab all

to see each in a different tab.

Solution 5:

• Open files:

  vim {file1,file2,...}
  

  in buffers, then use

  :ls (list), :n (next), :p (previous), :b<N> (open file N), :b [press TAB]
  

• Open in tabs:

  vim -p <files> 
  

  as polemon wrote, then use same commands as above

• Open in multiple windows :

  vim -o {file1,file2,...}
