You could view the same > buffer in multiple tabs. What then? I don't think you're right here. Looking at Firefox, for instance, tabs there don't correspond to Emacs windows at all. Each Firefox window has a tab-bar that switch between several tabs, just as each Emacs window can switch between several buffers. If each tab-bar has the same set of tabs there would be no problem in viewing the same tab (= buffer) in multiple windows. Of course, Emacs doesn't have tab-bars. So I agree, buffers aren't tabs. regards, Nikolaj Schumacher
