I'm on day 2 of my switch from 15 years of Vim to Evil Emacs -- so I'm just starting learning how to customize emacs and how to read elisp.

Question 1

I'm trying to use helm-projectile-find-file with elscreen-find-file That is, I want search for a file in my project and open up in a new window/tab.

I tried creating my own version of elscreen-find-file like this

(defun elscreen-find-file (filename)
  "Edit file FILENAME.
Switch to a screen visiting file FILENAME,
creating one if none already exists."
  (interactive "FFind file in new screen: ")
  (elscreen-find-and-goto-by-buffer (helm-projectile-find-file filename) 'create))

But it's not activating the helm-projectile-find-file functionality. I'm curious to learn the best way to accomplish this task. Thanks

Question 2:

I think by answering just #2 I can extrapolate a solution for #1. I'd like to helm-projectile-find-file and split the result in a new vertical window

Follow-up

I think it might have been a simpler solution to just open up a blank tab, switch to it, and then run helm-projectile

I did something similar trying to replicate Vim's vsplit:

  (defun vsplit ()
    (interactive)
    (progn
      (split-window-right)
      (other-window 1)
      (helm-projectile)))
