If I do
ctrl-W ctrl-]

to achieve the same functionality but with window being split vertically

If any ex-command splits a window horizontally, you can make it split
vertically by prefixing it with ":vert[ical]" or open a new tab by prefixing
it with ":tab". Since the ":winc[md]" ex-command is equivalent to the Ctrl-W
prefix, and since Ctrl-W Ctrl-] is equivalent to Ctrl-W ] you can do
:vert winc ]
If you want Ctrl-W Ctrl-] to _always_ split vertically, you can use
:map <C-W><C-]> :vertical wincmd ]<CR>
This will leave Ctrl-W ] available to split horizontally as an exception.
