Description of the new feature/enhancement

Windows Terminal Panes in Tabs

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

My scenario is that I have Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) activated with the Debian package. I am using Windows Terminal to open the Debian shell. I have installed Powershell 7 for Linux, Kubernetes CLI, Azure CLI, Git in the Debian WSL to manage my Azure AKS deployments. I want a feature that can split the tab (similar as in PowerShell ISE) so that one section uses PS7 shell and the other one uses bash shell. The aim is to be able to use the run different shells in one tab som that for example Linux command "watch -t -n1 kubectl get pods" in bash pane while running kubectl commands in a PS7 pane. In this example he is using two window frames which a bit cumbersome. This feature would blow all other Terminals away and attracted many developers and operators

This feature will have a menu choice of splitting a tab into several panes, both horizontally and vertically.

Hey thanks for the suggestion! The Terminal actually already supports panes! You might be interested in #1000 and any of the threads linked to that issue. I'm pretty sure all the asks you're looking for are tracked there.

Thanks!
