Summary
Allow viewing two or more buffers simultaneously in split panes (horizontal or vertical) within the same screen.
Details
- Split the view horizontally or vertically to display multiple buffers at once
- Each pane operates independently (scroll, filter, search)
- Keybinding to toggle split, switch focus between panes, and close panes
- Optionally sync scroll position between panes for line-by-line comparison
Use Cases
- Compare filtered vs unfiltered data side by side
- Monitor two log streams simultaneously
- View raw and parsed versions of the same data
- Compare before/after a transformation
Considerations
- Keybinding design — vi-style
ctrl+w window management
- Textual framework layout capabilities for dynamic pane splitting
- Minimum pane size constraints on small terminals
- Whether to support more than two panes
