Actually I found out one neat trick - :sp splits a new window (or new
buffer? Are the two names interchangeable), but keeps the cursor on
the same file, so I just hit enter again to open the file.
There's tabbed browsing in vim as well right? Sometimes I notice links
being opened in horizontal tabs. What's the difference between these
tabs and the buffers that are opened? In other words, what are the
advantages/disadvantages of using tabs versus buffers?
