Yep, the splitPane action has another arg for behaving in the duplicating way which the default keybindings don't have. You can add "splitMode":"duplicate" to the actions to get that behavior, like so:

{ "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "down", "splitMode":"duplicate" }, "keys": "alt+shift+-" },
{ "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "right", "splitMode":"duplicate" }, "keys": "alt+shift+plus" },

We probably won't be able to change this though, as we've shipped that keybinding without the duplicate for a few years now, and we don't want to break everyone who does like it opening the default profile.

Thanks!

Then a better option will be to add update the default settings.json file. And there is no way a bug fix can break expectations.

If people love Default Profile then the behaviour should be same in the UI menu options as well. Currently there is no way to duplicate Default Profile using the mouse.

A bug is a bug, not a feature in disguise, there will be no love lost for having a consistent behaviour in UI and KeyBindings
