How do I open a quickfix result in a new buffer?

Question

When I have the quickfix window open (e.g. from :grep foo<cr>:cw) I can go to the window and hit Enter and it will open the file under the cursor in an existing buffer.

Is there a way to open it in a new buffer, besides :split and then going to the quickfix window?

Answer 1

see switchbuf option, see:

:h switchbuf

you may setup switchbuf as:

set switchbuf=useopen,split
