Just use :tab when you're opening your files. So you :tabe instead of :e
(or :tab e), or move to the next file in the arg list with :tab n etc.,
etc..

You can also move a window (if you have multiple open at once) to its
own tab page by doing CTRL-W T (capital T).

:help :tab
:help :tabe
:help CTRL-W_T

Is that what you're after, or are you opening your files differently or
something? There are other possibilities....
