Jump to definition in new tab

Question

What i'm looking for is the following behaviour:

• ^]
  Should open the definition below the cursor in a new tab instead of a new buffer and reuse already open tabs
• ^O
  Should switch back to the previous location in the previous tab instead of switching the buffer of the current tab to the previous locations buffer
• ^I
  Should behave accordingly

I tried

:set switchbuf=newtab

as well as

:set switchbuf=usetab

but both did not change any of the behaviour.

Look here:

vim: Open tag in new tab

Basically, the idea is to do C-wC-]C-wT -- and then map that behaviour to the keys you like.
