vim vim-plugin

Is there a plugin or script to open ctags entries in a new tab? I'd like to put my cursor over a function, press ctrl+] and have the entry open in another tab. I'd also like if I visually select an entry, for ctrl+] to still work and open in a new vim tab.

You can

C-wC-]C-wT

To achieve that effect

Then you can also map that:

:nnoremap <silent><Leader><C-]> <C-w><C-]><C-w>T

Edit: also, depending on what you actually want, don't forget you can open tags in preview (:ptag) with e.g. C-w}. Just mentioning it in case...
