I've just [re]discovered Vim's tabs. Which are awesome. What isn't so awesome is the movement between tabs... :tabnew :tabn :tabp. Of course, the beauty of vim is customization -- it's trivial to make your own keybindings.

I chose:

new:	tn
prev:	<Control> Left
next:	<Control> Right

Unfortunately, the normal <C-%> notation doesn't work for "left" and "right" (maybe it's just my keyboard; idk) Anyway, here's what I had to enter (in my .vimrc):

map ^[[1;5D :tabp<cr>
map ^[[1;5C :tabn<cr>
map <Leader>tn :tabnew<cr>

Yeah; ^[[1;5D = <C-Left>. Don't ask me why.
