Is it possible to open a new tab on a particular line in vim?

Question

I have tried both of the following without success.

tabnew Foo.java +30
tabnew Foo.java:30

The first one gives an error message, while Vim opens interprets the whole string as a filename in the second case.

Answer 1

You need to reverse the arguments a bit, try this:

tabnew +30 Foo.java
