I found a useful map at the include-search ([I) help.

map <leader>1 [I:let nr = input("Which one: ")<Bar>exe "normal " . nr ."[\t"<CR>

This opens the file found on the line I type (after [I displaying all assurances of current line). I don't understand the syntax, I want to modify- opening the file in new tab.

  • Welcome to Vi and Vim! Which parts of the syntax are confusing? It would be helpful to see your understanding so we can focus on the relevant parts.

    Note, though, that the mapping is effectively [I followed by <nr>[<Tab> which is the same as <nr>[<C-i>. Near that help page, we can find <C-w>i for splitting and :ijump which allows more control. If you really want a new tab, try :execute 'tab isplit' nr expand('<cword>') or execute 'normal!' nr."\<C-w>i\<C-w>T"

  • Pro-tip: learn to use :help :) for example, :help expand() and :help :normal have the answers you are looking for.
