Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

"vertical" and "horizontal" splits were removed from defaults.json, but code was added to parse those as right and down respectively. It is also the case that if a user has a custom hotkey for split: vertical it will override the default for split: right.

Validation Steps Performed

Split the pane using each of the new directional movements
