Split Terminal in any direction

[globalhuman]

Currently the actions available to split the terminal are:

• workbench.action.terminal.split

It would be great to have support as is with the editor workbench.action.splitEditorDown.

This would enable better usage of the terminals in the editor area to enable more dense layouts https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_58#_terminals-in-the-editor-area.

A command I would hope to be able to use would be -> workbench.action.terminal.splitBelow

The panel uses a single dimension by design currently, you can 2d splitting by using terminals in the editor area. We plan on revisited this when we tackle #34442

Thanks for you response. I have actually found a workbench action which provides the functionality that I was after (similar to linux/terminator). Consider me happy 😄

Here is my addition to the keybindings.json file to use that functionality

{
    "key": "ctrl+shift+o",
    "command": "workbench.action.splitEditorToBelowGroup",
    "when": "terminalFocus && terminalProcessSupported"
  }

@globalhuman nice, I hadn't thought of using that command to do it in a single action 👍
