Vim plugin presenting a list of open tabs

Question

I've looked around and couldn't seem to find what I need.

Basically, when I have many open tabs, it becomes difficult to realize what file is open in a specific tab.

Is there a plugin that would present a list of all open tabs?

Of course, there's :tabs but I'm looking for a plugin presenting a selectable list.

You can use :tabs, If you tab 7 is the tab you want to go to then type 7gt. If tab 2 is the tab you want to go to type 2gt.

This may be a solution to your problem It encourages you to not use tabs and look at the more flexible buffer mechanism and use either MiniBufExpl or BufExplorer. Although not mentioned in the linked post, I would also suggest looking at FuzzyFinder which is quite good.

The correct answer to this question is the first part of @Drew LeSueur

Use :tabs

I may correct the second part:

to go to a specific tab do :tabn 7 or :tabn7 not :7gt
