Using the mappings will create new windows indefinitely right now. Previewing should behave like:

• o, go: use the window from the buffer which generated the search to show results in.
• v, gv: create a vertical split to the right of the window which generated the search.
• s, gs: create a horizontal split below the window which generated the search.
• t, gt: create a new tab to show the results in. If the user chooses the same file using t, gt a 2nd time from the quickfix window, the same tab window should be updated to show the new position, not create a new one.

Beyond this, switching modes, like using 's' after 'v' should close the vertical split and open a horizontal one. A single preview should be usable, except for tabs.

something like:
:Grep text spec/ --exclude *.yml

If search is taking long sometimes it's useful to do something else, while it's in progress. In my particular case I've tried to insert text into buffer. I've experienced some lags, but have been able to insert text, until suddenly search is done and I was placed into quickfix in insert mode (I have a plugin that makes quickifix editable) I've started to hit j key to traverse quickfix list, but instead I've edited text in it.

So in my opinion there is two things that gone wrong here. First, don't force me into quickfix if I've already switched my attention from search (simple heuristic is time, better heuristic is user actions). Second when switching force switch to normal mode.

I've found two things with the Quickfix mappings:

• Sometimes they seem to get activated and stuck in a non-quickfix buffer. For example, the t mapping to <C-W><CR><C-W>T will be stuck, and doing a :map t to whatever seems to do nothing to fix it.
• On a related note, I've tried to override these mapping in the quickfix itself using an after/ftplugin/qf.vim and it doesn't work. Also, entering my override mappings directly as ex commands doesn't work. Greper seems to be blocking it.

Finally, it would be nice if you provided an option to disable the default quickfix mappings. Thanks!
