I often have several files open in vim, each in a different tab. I have to remember which tab has which file open. Is there a way to show this in the tab titles?

From vim.wikia.com:
Add this to your .vimrc:
let &titlestring = hostname() . "[vim(" . expand("%:t") . ")]"
if &term == "screen"
set t_ts=^[k
set t_fs=^[\
endif
if &term == "screen" || &term == "xterm"
set title
endif

1For anyone curious: To make the title just the filename, change the first line to
let &titlestring = expand("%:t").– MatthewJul 4, 2010 at 23:45 -

More simple way for gnome-terminal, write below in your vimrc :
set title
autocmd BufRead * let &titlestring = expand("%:p")
show only filepath in title
vimsupports tabs (both in the GUI and on the command line), so you do not need to use tabs fromgnome-terminal. See:help tabpage.gnome-terminaltabs, so that I can usealt + [tab number]to switch between them. Or is there a way to do this invim, too?gnome-terminalstealsCTRL-PgUp/PgDownwhen multiple terminal tabs are open (it works whenvimis the only one).2gtworks, but neither option is as convenient forant + [tab number]anyway. Thanks for the tip, though, I'll remember it if I'm ever stuck using a terminal without tabs.
