Menu
On Windows, use Ctrl-Tab to move to the next tab to the right and Ctrl-Shift-Tab to move to the next tab to the left.
To close a tab, use :tabc. To switch to the next tab, use :tabn, and to switch to the previous tab, use :tabp (short for tabnext and tabprevious respectively). You can also jump over tabs by using :tabn 2, which will move to the second next tab.
As well as the previously suggested :tabedit approach, a quicker way of doing it is (in normal mode) to hit Ctrl-W Shift-T. Ctrl-W is the general prefix for a wide variety of window manipulation commands.
See:
:help Ctrl-W_T
:help Ctrl-W
Try
:tabedit %<CR>
This moves the newest buffer in a new tab and restores the previous buffer in the current tab. I use this after dragging a new file into my Gvim
:sbp |wincmd p| wincmd T
You can map it like that to Ctrl-Backspace
:nnoremap <C-BS> :sbp<bar>wincmd p<bar>wincmd T<CR>
it performs especially well with
:set switchbuf=usetab
