Promote move pane to make pane when no pane present

[michaelfavia]

Many times im in a single pane with multiple tabs and i need to begin the process of breaking out into multiple panes. it would be nice to have a hotkey to do that. Currently i CMD+K then arrow. Then i have to close the old clones file in the original pane. Maybe there is a built in way to do this but i haven't found it despite searching.

My suggested solution is to use the pane movement commands in Layout Manager to create the new pane on the fly and move the active tab to the new pane if one doesnt exist for the command executed and the tab is in a multiple tab pane. What do you think? Im happy to dig in but i was wondering if im missing something here.

Sounds like a great addition. Feel free to submit a pull request with the proposed changes.

One thing to consider is whether we want a scenario where we have two panes (one left, one right) both with several tabs. If while on a tab on the right pane, you executed the 'move right' command should it spawn a 3rd pane or should we protect against that?

If we don't protect against that, then we should also consider collapsing panes the last tab is moved away from a pane, so reverting an unwanted creation of a pane is done by executing the reverse operation which seems intuitive.
