:lcd {path}

set the working directory locally for the current window, not to the current tab page. a tab page can contains one or more windows.

Opening and Closing Tabs

Rearranging Tabs

:tabmove [N]

rearranging tab pages. [N] is 0, the current tab page is moved to the beginning. omit [N], the current tab page is moved to the end.
