Vim has an even more (imho) cool function than that which would be even more
(imho) cool to implement. That is if, in Vim, you have a number of buffers
open at the same time, (eg; your window is split into several panes,
horizontally and vertically), you can make one buffer expand to the entire
window area (the others are still there), and switch to and fro between this
and the previous multi-pane view at will. If you see what I mean.
The window context switch command in Vim is:
<ctrl>-w-o
that's the letter "o". I don't know if that conflicts with anything in tmux,
one could use <ctrl>-b-o for instance. That's fine details though, the
principle is that it would be nice to be able to close, (but *not* kill), all
the "other" tmux windows, for a while(!), work in a nice big single window,
and then to bring them all back again with the same command. Just an idea,
while we're talking about Vim + tmux, again :-)
