View Git Commits from Blame With Fugitive

I use vim-fugitive all the time to run a blame on the file I have open in (neo)vim. In the blame buffer, I typically hit enter on a commit to view the full commit in the buffer. It's nice, but then I need to jump back to view the code again.

Today I learned if you hit o instead of enter, the commit will open in a split below, which is much more convenient for me - it allows me to see the current version of the file, the blame, and the commit in one view. Game changer.
