map Y gt
map T gTAlso gt and gT, but I still like to map these to single-key shortcuts.
map Y gt
map T gTAdmittedly I wouldn't personally recommend those mappings, because both already correspond to commands I use quite frequently. By default Y is synonym for yy, to yank a whole line, and T<char> moves back to the nearest instance of <char> on the current line. The first one I think people could live without, but the latter is kind of important for good vi.
nnoremap <Tab> gt
nnoremap <S-Tab> gT
