Do you think of
:map <window>
:map <tabpage>
next to
:map <buffer>
?
Hmm, logic says using more modifiers is a bit wrong, as
<window>, <tabpage>, <buffer> cannot be combined in one mapping.
There have been similar requests for mappings local to the filetype
(why have duplicated mappings in all buffers sharing the same
filetype?), and mappings local to a specific syntax region (inspired
by TextMate?).
But I guess, all these will just make Vim overly complicated; and with
some scripting it is already possible.
Another problem:
how do you think windows should be identified -- by number?
