As I open new tabs in vi/vim(7.2), if the opened files are in different paths the tab title displays the complete path and hogs the screen real estate so the other tabs are not visible. This means I can’t use my mouse to click to the tab I want but have to resort to : & keyboard commands to move between tabs.
Is there any way I can restrict the tab titles to a max ‘size/length’, so I only get to see say the last 12 characters of a file in a distant relative path ?
In reply to my own question:
After reading Chad Birch above and googling for setting-tabline I found the TabLineSet plugin that does the trick, and some of script explanations here
