Description

I propose we add the following context-menu items to editors present in the main area, to allow users to quickly split editors:

  • split up
  • split down
  • split left
  • split right

In the future we can also assign keybindings to these actions.
For reference, they are supported in VS Code:

It is fine, but what you will show? Does it depend on #3857? What about other widgets?

Yes I do think it depends on #3857, and I imagined it only for editors like in VS Code.

@akosyakov I also had in mind to support moving editors through a context-menu and keybinding. Instead of having to drag & drop, it'd split and move the editor. Do you think it's a worthwhile feature to support? I believe versions of Jetbrains IDE have the same functionality.

It would be fine with me, but you are better ask others. Generally being able to do everything with the keyboard is good. Maybe open another issue and ping other committers?
