Open definition in new window

Thanks for the awesome package.

Is there any function which will open the definition in new window.

Thank you.

I'm fairly sure that my approach is pretty dumb and buggy, but seems to be working:

  (defun racer-find-definition-other-window ()
    "Run the racer find-definition command and process the results in other window."
    (interactive)
    (-if-let (match (--first (s-starts-with? "MATCH" it)
                             (racer--call-at-point "find-definition")))
        (-let [(_name line col file _matchtype _ctx)
               (s-split-up-to "," (s-chop-prefix "MATCH " match) 5)]
          (if (fboundp 'xref-push-marker-stack)
              (xref-push-marker-stack)
            (with-no-warnings
              (ring-insert find-tag-marker-ring (point-marker))))
          (switch-to-buffer-other-window file)
          (save-selected-window
            (racer--find-file file (string-to-number line) (string-to-number col))))
      (error "No definition found")))

I guess there's a better way to do it, extracting the common part or using the optional argument

Thanks @4lex1v ! It worked just perfect.

Hi @4lex1v , When I invoke open in new window, it will open the definition in new window.
But after I close that file, I have another file opened with same name but empty.
