Suppose you open file.c, you edit it and then you jump on a TAG, defined in another file, using <C-]>.
If you didn't save the modified buffer you'll just get:
"E37: No write since last change (add ! to override)"
To overcome this, put the following code inside your .vimrc.
-------------%<----------%<-------------
fun! SPLITAG() range
let oldfile=expand("%:p")
if &modified;
split
endif
exe "tag ". expand("<cword>")
let curfile=expand("%:p")
if curfile == oldfile
let pos=getpos(".")
if &modified;
" if we have splitted before:
quit
endif
call setpos('.', pos)
endif
endfun
nmap <C-]> :call SPLITAG()<CR>z.
-------------%<----------%<-------------
and enjoy ;)

| Can something similar be done for the gf command?

To use this tip for 'gf' it should be sufficient to replace
exe "tag ". expand("<cword>")
with
exe "normal gf"
(not tested)

CTRL-W CTRL-] doesn't give the same level of laziness of this tip.
Why should I remember to use CTRL-W CTRL-], when I can press CTRL-] all the time?
