Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/10832

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Summary of the Pull Request

Adds the Split Tab option to the tab context menu.
Clicking this option will auto split the active pane of the tab into a duplicate pane.
Clicking on an unfocused tab and splitting it will bring that tab into focus and split its active pane.

We could make this a flyout from the context menu to let people choose horizontal/vertical split in the future if it's requested.

I'm also wondering if this should be called Split Pane instead of Split Tab?
