Description
Describe your feature request
Allowing dragging of tabs to split window within this section like you can do in most IDE's (e.g. VSCode)
What problem does this feature solve? [optional]
I want to see several files I am working on at the same time because I need the information from another file frequently. Opening a new window and tabbing it back again is also possible but rather annoying imo.
So likes this just for markdown tabs:
