Re: How can I undock a file panel from a split window?

I tried it. I'm using MacVim.  I edited the plugin replacing 'gvim' with 'mvim'.

It closes the current tab (good), opens a new macvim window (good) that is empty (bad).

I'm guessing the purpose of creating a new tmpname is to hold the contents of the current buffer without forcing it to be saved first, except the current buffer isn't getting written?

Its not exactly what you're asking for, but I wrote something called
"Detach" which will detach a tab into its own process. ctrl-w T will
move a window into a new tab. The :Detach command will cause the
currently visible tab and all its windows to be brought up in a separate
gvim. Detaching a tab yields two independent instances of vim/gvim: they
do not share variables, vim functions, etc. If you're interested, you
may get it from http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim.index.html#DETACH .
