For 3, I think itchyny means the following.
The user is editing in the left window of a split display.
+-----------+-----------+
| active | |
| window | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
+-----------+-----------+
The user then executes :copen. The quickfix window should open at
the bottom and be full-width.
+-----------+-----------+
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
+-----------+-----------+
| quickfix window |
+-----------+-----------+
Further, hitting Enter on any line in the quickfix window should
open that target in the window that was active at the time the
:copen command was executed. In this case, that would be the left
window.
