Please add a horizontal split feature for the vscode integrated terminal. An example of this is shown in the screenshot attached in the Terminator terminal emulator. In Terminator this can be activated by using Ctrl + Shift + O. This feature would complement the exsiting vertical Split Terminal feature in vscode. Thanks.

If you turn on the Secondary Side Bar, then drag your Terminal tab off the Panel onto the Secondary Side Bar, you'll find that split terminals have that orientation. See #116833.

Another technique is to split your editor area into two groups, one above the other. Then drag existing terminals into these groups. Or use the Create New Terminal in Editor Area command from the palette.

Thanks for the tips @gjsjohnmurray. It would be handy to have an integrated button for doing this type of split within the terminal panel, like exists already for the vertical split:

The method you suggested works OK as a work around though, but doesn't feel as neat as the existing vertical split method:

This is by design currently, we will revisit this as part of #34442 though. I recommend the editor approach for now.
