Summary
When a window is already split into two side-by-side panes, pressing Cmd+D to create another pane should redistribute the layout into three equal vertical panes.
Expected behavior
- Start with a window split into two panes, arranged left and right.
- Focus either pane and press
Cmd+D.
- Keep all three panes in the same vertical split group, with each pane using approximately one third of the available width.
Use case
This would make repeated pane creation predictable and make it easier to use Otty for monitoring or comparing three terminal sessions. The current result can leave panes with uneven widths depending on which pane is split.
Proposed behavior
After creating the third pane, normalize the widths of all sibling panes in the split group to an equal distribution. If automatic normalization is not desirable in every case, an explicit command or setting for equalizing sibling panes would also be useful.
Thank you for considering this improvement.
