Provide commands to split the terminal

[Tyriar]

After multiple terminals are added, it would be useful to see multiple terminals at once. Open question: how does focus interact with tabs and splits?

[bpasero]

Are you proposing to be able to split the panel side by side like the editor?

[Tyriar]

@bpasero Atom's term3 has the capability apparently, the package doesn't seem to be working for me though. Would want to see if it's a reasonable experience first.

[bpasero]

@Tyriar oh I see so the terminal itself would split in the panel, we would not add splitting support to the panel?

[Tyriar]

@bpasero yes, this would be contained within the specific panel. Not to be confused with #7161

Another issue that's related to this: Add maximize panel command #7314

Would be great to be able to split integrated terminal / task output in the bottom pane.

[Tyriar]

@bargeruns that would be this one #7161 😃

Personally I prefer sticky tabbing instead of window splitting as the window size is always too small ... something like tmux window would be great :)

[Tyriar]

Going to close this off in favor of programs like tmux and screen which seem to work just fine within vscode

[Tyriar]

Reopening, I'm probably not going to learn tmux personally but would definitely find this useful. Also I don't think there is a solution on Windows.
