Menu
I often jump from a file to file, while working a large codebase. I typically do this by way of putting cursor on the file, say foo.h, and typing "gf". I wonder if I can do the same thing, yet open the file in a split window.
One obvious solution is to simply type: vsp (sp) filename.

Put the cursor on the filename and type gf (in command mode). Or use CTRL + W | CTRL + F to open in another window.
Use the g f shortcut. Move your cursor on a path string, the exact cursor position is not important and then press g f in normal mode. g f stands for "goto file".
CTRL-^ Edit the alternate file. Mostly the alternate file is the previously edited file. This is a quick way to toggle between two files. It is equivalent to ":e #", except that it also works when there is no file name.
<c-w>gf open in a new tab (Ctrl-w gf)
<c-w>f for split window <-- this is the answer you are seeking (Ctrl-w f)
