Mar 30, 2017 at 14:50 | comment | added | Rich | Unhelpfully, that use of the word "viewport" is completely at odds with use in the quote that you've copied from the wiki. Again, I really recommend you stop worrying about this one particular sentence you've found in the wiki, especially seeing as it seems you've already figured out what Vim tabs actually are. | |

@Rich thanks for your comment. That's too what I'd assume. But all of those terms mean nothing to me. The only place I hear of viewport is people discussing Vim. It's also directly in Vim's :help window : "A window is a viewport onto a buffer". The more I read about this it slowly makes sense. Of course the dictionary definition of viewport makes sense "a framed area on a display screen for viewing information", but I've never heard this referred to in other editors.

Mar 30, 2017 at 13:27 | comment | added | Rich | I think you might be overthinking this a little. In Vim, a tab is simply a group of Vim's windows. "Viewport", "layout", and "workspace" are not Vim terminology: they're just three other words you might have seen to describe the same concept outside of Vim, so if you're already familiar with these terms, the person that wrote that part of the wiki thought that they might help you to understand what a "tab" is in Vim. | |
