Terminal: Split Pane with same Profile

[aykborstelmann]

Description of the new mini-feature

For what I know it is only possible to split the pane with the default profile or with a selected profile, e.g. always the 2nd profile. I would like to suggest an option to define a shortcut for splitting the pane with the same profile as the profile currently opened. This would come handy because the is the functionality I expected in the first place.

Thanks for the suggestion! This is such a good idea that _we already implemented it_ 😆

You can achieve what your looking for with a keybinding like the following:

        { "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split":"auto", "splitMode": "duplicate" }, "keys": [ "ctrl+alt+t" ] },

"splitMode": "duplicate" tells the keybinding to create a pane with the same profile as the current pane.

"split":"auto" tells the binding to create a pane in whichever direction results in the pane being _larger_. If the Terminal is currently wider than it is tall, then the split will be vertical (think "[ | ]").
