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

guys there is a special global option, which i won't say the name
basically it changes default behaviour of opening new buffer

so by default it opens in current window

and by changing this option you can make it open in new tab

this will change not only gf, but :e file also!

I'd do it like so

1. :vs (or :s) Open the buffer in a new split. This keeps your position
2. gf to the file under the cursor.
3. <C-W>T Move the new split into a tab

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,
