Not actually from within vim, but perhaps you can run vim like this:

vim -o app/views/*.erb

Answer 2

Just learned from tonymec@#vim that you can do

:args app/views/*.erb | all

for horizontal splits or

:args app/views/*.erb | vertical all

for vertical.

Answer 3

vim -O app/views/*.erb

This is also from the shell. It will open as vertical splits.

Answer 4

Had to whip up a function.

  fun! OpenSplits(dir)
    for f in split(glob(a:dir), '\n')
      execute "sp " f
    endfor
  endfun

Answer 5

What happens when you do a

:sf app/views/*.erb

from within vim?
