Is there a way to move a split page to a new tab in Vim?
Very easily, use CTRL+W, SHIFT+T.
See the help page:
:help CTRL-W_T
Note that this is case sensitive: <C-W>T
is different to <C-W>t
.
The long-and-straight-forward way would be to open a new tab and open the file's buffer there.
:tabnew
:b FILE_NAME
:b
can TAB
-complete from arbitrary parts of the file name, so this shouldn't take too long.
