How do I open separate tabs/windows for all buffers in Vim?
To split all buffers use :sba
or :vert sba
Vim command :sba
has also a shortcut: :ba
.
:[N]ba[ll] [N] :[N]sba[ll] [N] Rearrange the screen to open one window for each buffer in the buffer list.
To back again to single tag, use: :on
(:only
).
:on[ly][!] Make the current window the only one on the screen. All other windows are closed.
To quit, use: :qa
