> Split Right | Split Down

Thanks for this. After 7 years of using iterm2 I still don't know what will happen with the ambiguous "Split Horizontally | Split Vertically". I know the issue is I'm thinking about it and should just learn it, but it would be more helpful if it was named "Split A | Split B".

(might be a non-native language problem)



I’m a native English speaker and I also have trouble with this. When the panes are arranged horizontally, the line dividing them is vertical.


I think it ambiguous. vim has vsplit ("Like |:split|, but split vertically.") that is "split right", however, wezterm has "Split Vertically (Top/Bottom). Split the current pane vertically into two panes, by spawning the default program into the bottom half"
