How do I open files in a new tab from :Lexplore in VIM

Question

When using netrw as :Lex, opening a file simply replaces the current file open. How do I open a file in a new tab from Lex or in a new vertical split?

Answer 1

See :h netrw-t:

BROWSING WITH A NEW TAB                         netrw-t

Normally one enters a file or directory using the <cr>.  The "t" map
allows one to open a new window holding the new directory listing or file in
a new tab.

If you'd like to have the new listing in a background tab, use gT.

And :h netrw-v:

BROWSING WITH A VERTICALLY SPLIT WINDOW                 netrw-v

Normally one enters a file or directory using the <cr>.  However, the "v" map
allows one to open a new window to hold the new directory listing or file.  A
vertical split is used.  (for horizontal splitting, see netrw-o)

Normally, the v key splits the window vertically with the new window and
cursor at the left.

Just press t instead of pressing Enter for a new tab, or v for a new vertical split.
