Open quickfix in vertical split

Question

If I use the command :copen the quickfix buffer will be opened as a horizontal split.

Is there a way (a command) to open it in a vertical split instead?

Prefixing your command with :vert modifies it to use a vertical split:

:vert copen

I was going to suggest this too, but found out that this does not work for me. Maybe a Vim bug? It just opens a larger horizontal split for me.

@Akshay Works for me in Vim 7.3.

Oh, seems to work if I do vim -Nu NONE. Nevermind ;). EDIT: Ah it was because I always set the quickfix window to open at the bottom with wincmd J
