Validation Steps Performed

auto split behaviour based on the comment immediately before the keyboard shortcut entry in default config. horizontal and vertical properties guessed but they work - not sure if there are any other options.

Can't remember where I heard the default shortcuts (a video of some kind published recently, maybe?) Anyway splitting panes is literally the single feature I thought terminal was missing. 👍🚀
