| description |
I tend to open multiple tabs in vim and multiple windows within a tab.
I have a habit of traversing the code in a tree format - I open a tag in a
new tab, so that my current view of the window remains unchanged. I can simply
close the newly opened tab/window to resume to my previous view.
Consider a case where I have window A focused. I open a new split as window B.
Now, when I close window B, it should focus the earlier window A. Currently,
it always focuses the window on left side of B.
Similarly, for tab close case, it always selects the tab on the right side of
tab being closed.
With this plugin, it maintains the order in which the tabs are switched and
the order in which windows are switched within a tab.
NOTE that the order of window switching is maintained in per-tab basis.
When any window/tab is closed, it focuses the tab that was last focussed.
