Description

Summary

Creating a split-grouped UI composed of inputs, buttons, and icons in MUI is surprisingly painful. We need a smarter grouping component similar to Ant Design's Space that can handle spacing, alignment, and composition of mixed elements more elegantly.

It's hard to understand why MUI, after more than a decade of development, still doesn't provide a first-class solution for such a common UI pattern.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue's example image and the linked Ant Design Space component to understand the requested grouping, spacing, alignment, and composition behavior. Done means MUI has a first-class component covering the described mixed-element grouping use case, with its API and scope agreed by maintainers.
