The default behaviour of :help in Vim opens the help in a horizontal split.
I need to remap :help to instead execute :tab help as to always open the help in a new tab.
How can I remap this command?

Opening a tab Probably the easiest to remember is to run the :tabnew command while in normal mode. This will open a new tab with an empty buffer. If you want to edit a file in the new tab, you can run :tabnew filename and Vim will load the file in the new tab.
Ctrl-w N or Ctrl-\ Ctrl-n put the buffer in the terminal-normal mode: Keystrokes are not forwarded to the shell, but are used by Vim as in a normal buffer (although the shell job is still running). Then you can use gt to change tabs, type Ex commands such as :ls , etc.
