Open Notebooks below the shell split

Describe the solution you'd like?

When I open a notebook in Warp (typically via the command palette) it should split the window "down" instead of placing the notebook in a "left" of your terminal.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I like the notebooks feature, but manually moving the split after opening a notebook is a deal breaker and will prevent me from using notebooks.

Additional context

My warp window width and font size are setup to give me a suitable number of columns. I feel like this is an almost universal setup?

Splitting the window vertically gives me half that many columns which is nowhere near enough, it makes Warp completely unusable whenever a notebook is open. IMHO Warp should never reduce the shell width by half. This should apply to all features in Warp.

Note I'm fine with features that reduce the shell width a little bit, for Warp Drive/Ai, etc.

How important is this feature to you?

Start by tracing how the command palette opens notebooks and how Warp chooses the shell split direction. Compare that flow with the existing notebook and terminal layout behavior, then verify that opening a notebook places it below the shell without making the shell unusably narrow.
