This is one of my biggest bug bears and it drives me absolutely nuts:

Is there a way to prevent :help from splitting the window?!
I never, ever want a horizontal split. I'd just like to see the help
text in a new tab.


I mostly use gvim, sometimes vim. So I need a solution that works in
both cases.

Manpageview (see http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#MANPAGEVIEW), which handles several kinds of help (vim, manpages, perl, php, and python), has a TMan command, which provides help in a separate tab. As a variant, there's OMan, which saves your window(s) and opens the help page in its stead (and a :q will restore your previous window(s)).
