Title really says it all. There is the -O option for opening splits vertically, and -o for horizontally, but trying to mix them doesn't seem to work.

I have cTags set up to tag a bunch of custom stuff for simple internal scripting language I use at work. For various reasons, I'd like to have it set up so that if I <C-]> on certain tags vim opens them in their default editor rather than in another buffer. Is it possible to set this up? ...
