Split pane is not working

[kumarom]

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.476] Professional Edition
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Version: 0.7.3382.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

I have two tabs open (1st cmd, 2nd wsl1 Ubuntu) and I wanted to have split pane. So I focused on wsl1 and then pressed ALT + SHIFT + - or ALT + SHIFT + '+'. But there was no change.

Then I closed all tabs. Changed key bindings ALT + SHIFT + - to CTRL + SHIFT + h after editing profiles.json. Reopened all tabs, and then tried CTRL + SHIFT + h. Still no action.

Expected behavior

As per release notes for v0.7.3291.0, it should have split pane.

Actual behavior

Split pane is not working

For me it only works if I don't use the numpad plus and min keys (which I would prefer) but it does work with the other plus and min keys (near backspace).

You used the correct key specifier for numbad keys? The following works for me:

            {
                "command": "splitHorizontal",
                "keys": [
                    "alt+shift+numpad_minus"
                ]
            },
            {
                "command": "splitVertical",
                "keys": [
                    "alt+shift+numpad_plus"
                ]
            }

Benjamin Leber (@Grisu118) Your suggetions work. However, the defaults mentioned in

terminal/src/cascadia/TerminalApp/defaults.json

Lines 237 to 238 in 9145903

	{ "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "horizontal"}, "keys": [ "alt+shift+-" ] },
	{ "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "vertical"}, "keys": [ "alt+shift+plus" ] },

do not. This issue can be closed if the defaults are updated.

Om Kumar (@kumarom) This is definitely weird. You're saying that

{
    "command": "splitVertical",
    "keys": [ "alt+shift+numpad_plus" ]
}

worked for you, but

{
    "command": "splitVertical",
    "keys": [ "ctrl+shift+h" ]
}

didn't? That's really weird. What keyboard layout are you using?

Mike Griese (@zadjii-msft) All I am saying that

{
    "command": "splitVertical",
    "keys": [ "alt+shift+numpad_plus" ]
}

worked. But { "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "vertical"}, "keys": [ "alt+shift+plus" ] }, does not work and is documented in

terminal/src/cascadia/TerminalApp/defaults.json

Lines 237 to 238 in 9145903

	{ "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "horizontal"}, "keys": [ "alt+shift+-" ] },
	{ "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "vertical"}, "keys": [ "alt+shift+plus" ] },

Om Kumar (@kumarom) okay, I think I got confused by your OP where you mentioned that "CTRL + SHIFT + h" didn't work.

What keyboard layout are you using?

Does the alt+shift+plus binding work for you if you use the + key that's not on the numpad? On a QWERTY EN-US keyboard, this is the key with both + and =.

Perhaps we need to update the documentation to be clearer that plus and numpad_plus are not interchangable.
