Is there a way to open all the files in a directory from within Vim? So a :command that would say in effect "Open all the files under /some/path into buffers".
Ideally, it would be great to open all the files under a dir recursively.

Suppose you have opened a file on Vim editor and you want to split it vertically. To achieve this: Enter command mode by pressing the ESC button. Press the keyboard combination Ctrl + w , followed by the letter 'v' .
To directly move to first tab or last tab, you can enter the following in command mode: :tabfirst or :tablast for first or last tab respectively. To move back and forth : :tabn for next tab and :tabp for previous tab. You can list all the open tabs using : :tabs. To open multiple files in tabs: $ vim -p source.
Open multiple files and easily switch between them To switch from one tab to other, you can use the :bn and :bp commands while the editor is in the command mode. That's it.
By default, Vim starts with a single window, which is enough for editing a single file. But sometimes, you may have to work on multiple files. Vim makes it easier to work with multiple files at once with its window management system, allowing you to work on multiple files at the same time within a single Vim session.
The command you are looking for is args:
For example:
:args /path_to_dir/* will open all files in the directory

Why it doesn't work if I want to open all files ending with a certain extension? I tried
:n ./**.cs and opens only the files in the currenty directory.
I found the answer.The correct code is :n **/*.cs
For more information :h find
