    Hi, I love the firm integration with Netbeans tabs. I can't seem to find a way to open a new tab, though. I'm searching for some kind of replacement for :tabe, and I can't find it. Does such a replacement exist?

    I'd greatly appreciate any guidance anyone can offer. Thanks,

    Jake

      Creating files is totally in the NB realm, even opening files is difficult to implement. Consider if you did ":e <new-file.java>" in what directory would the file go? Lots of issues, too messy.

      I guess you've found gt/gT commands. Also, after :e# there is command completion for open files (auto popup is an option)

      One day I would like to hook up ^w^s types of commands, but the NB API doesn't support moving things around programatically. If you clone a file and move it around, you can get side by side editing (jVi fixes some NB/swing issues where one window scrolls when editing in the other window)

        Thank you for the response err! I agree, tabe would be difficult to implement.
