[Help] Opening output in new buffer

[AlejandroGomezFrieiro]

I know it is possible to enter the output, but is it possible to open the output in a new buffer?

I think there's some confusing terminology here.

Entering the output is opening it in a new buffer.

I think you want it opened in a split buffer which doesn't go away? Currently there is no (easy) way to do that, but you could create a key bind to copy all the text content into a split. Unfortunately that would not work for images.

You might be able to open a split, open the float, enter it, grab the buf number, and then open the buffer in the split before exiting the float. And still exiting the float might delete the buffer I forget how exactly it's coded. But it also might not. Which would potentially yield the result you want.

What I usually do is enter the output window, and use CTRL-W CTRL-T. That just takes any buffer and moves it into a new tab.

Just tested and CTRL-W_CTRL-S also works! also CTRL-W_CTRL-V if you prefer a vertical split. Thanks @kalyanoliveira!
