GVim: Open in a new tab

Question

I am using gVim on Windows and facing the annoying thing of having a new gVim window opened whenever I open a new file. Is it possible to make it open a new tab in the same window?

Thanks, Rafid

Answer 1

Also (more tedious but generally useful for other things) you can drag&drop files from Windows Explorer into gVim when the command line is active. If you type :e and then drop a file, the command line will be filled out with the full path to the file. You can do the same with :sp and :tabe; just remember to put the space after the command!
