Re: A gf mapping which opens a tab or window?

Hi,

there is this the family of commands, of which this is the most representative:

CTRL-W gf                        *CTRL-W_gf*
        Open a new tab page and edit the file name under the cursor.
        Like "tab split" and "gf", but the new tab page isn't created
        if the file does not exist.

Best regards,

Martino

Apologies if I'm asking the bleeding obvious, but as so often I find it hard to find what I'm looking for in the help.

The `gf` mapping opens the file name under the cursor in the same window. I have a file with one (absolute) file path on each line, and would like to be able to open two or more of them in new tabs without closing that file. If I do `gf` and then `:tabe #` I "lose my position" in the file with paths. So is there a mapping or command which opens the filepath under the cursor in a new tab or at least a new window without losing my position in the file with the path, or how could one be created (it probably could, this being Vim, but I can't figure out how...)?

TIA,
