Jump to definition in new tab

Question

What i'm looking for is the following behaviour:

• ^]
  Should open the definition below the cursor in a new tab instead of a new buffer and reuse already open tabs
• ^O
  Should switch back to the previous location in the previous tab instead of switching the buffer of the current tab to the previous locations buffer
• ^I
  Should behave accordingly

I tried

:set switchbuf=newtab

as well as

:set switchbuf=usetab

but both did not change any of the behaviour.

Answer 1

Look here:

vim: Open tag in new tab

Basically, the idea is to do C-wC-]C-wT -- and then map that behaviour to the keys you like.

Sry, I don't (yet) know how achive the inverse effect with ^O.. looking into it – Clippard

The problem with this solution is also that it does not reuse tabs, even with switchbuf=usetab – Urogenital

To fix the reuse tab problem see my post here: vi.stackexchange.com/questions/10014/… – Clubfoot

@Urogenital Just a heads-up for you ^ – Clippard

Answer 2

I wrote a plugin that not only jump tag in new tab but also jump back to the correct tab when you press < C-t > to jump back. https://github.com/ipod825/TagJump
