gF works but c-w f doesn't

<c-w>f doesn't take me to the line number within the file, whereas gF does, but only within the same window.

My use case is, from bash, going:

somegrep somestring | vim -

which gives me a list of files. If i were to gF on a result, I get the yes/no/cancel dialog to confirm I want to lose that page forever. I don't - hence my use of <c-w>f to open the result in another window. Ideally vim-fetch would do this AND jump to the correct line within that file.

Duh, I wasn’t even aware of the CTRL-W file lookup commands until now. This looks tricky as the commands perform a lookup of the file before splitting, so vim-fetch will have to override the whole operation. I’ll file your suggestion under future enhancements, but I must warn you I cannot provide an ETA, as I have no inkling of when I will have time to invest into this plugin again.

That's ok - workaround is just to do:

<c-w>vgF
