This is more of a suggestion (and an opinionated one, at that), but the terminology for splitting a pane (e.g. "Split Horizontally" and "Split Vertically") has always confused me. I can never remember if "horizontal" means that the operation will result in two panes in a row (horizontal) or two panes split by a horizontal line.

I always expect that it will do the opposite of what it actually does, and since there's a chance I'm not alone, I figured I'd bring it up here.

For horizontal, think about the Horizon of the sun.. You see the horizon along the edge of a lake, for instance.

So the horizontal split will give you a window above and a window below.
