Description of the new feature

It would be a great help to be able to resize a tab in split screen mode.
Currently the tabs' size is fixed and cannot be resized.
Resizing tabs should be as in Linux's "Terminator" app https://gnome-terminator.org/

Proposed technical implementation details

Do you mean like #992?

(with a prototype in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/16895#issuecomment-2005004839)

Yes, exactly.
It would also be very helpful to have resizing with keyboard shortcuts.
For example, in Terminator it's ctrl + shift + arrow(up/down/left/right)
So, the window you're focused on changes.

The keyboard shortcuts have been there for a while. I believe they're alt+shift+arrows

@zadjii-msft is there a way to control how the tab will split? horizontal or vertical
