Thank you so much all and Gary's solution seems to be the best answer. Thank
you, Gary. Now I define some more mappings inside quickfix buffer so that I can
open the code as I like.

augroup vimrc-quickfix
autocmd!
autocmd FileType qf call s:quickfix_setting()
augroup END
function! s:quickfix_setting()
wincmd J
nnoremap <buffer><silent> <CR> :<C-u>call <SID>qfenter('wincmd p')<CR>
nnoremap <buffer><silent> <C-t> :<C-u>call <SID>qfenter('tabnew')<CR>
nnoremap <buffer><silent> <C-v> :<C-u>call <SID>qfenter('wincmd p <bar> vnew')<CR>
endfunction
function! s:qfenter(cmd)
let lnum = line('.')
silent! execute a:cmd
silent! execute 'cc' lnum
endfunction

Now I'm very happy with the behaviour. The quickfix window is opened with the full
width. And the code is opened at the place I hit :copen. I can open the code at
new tab or in a vertically splitted new window. Maybe my code will be better by
fixing the cc command to switching cc/ll as Ben suggested. Thank you for sharing
your configuration, Ben

Regards,
itchyny
