How to split a pane by dropping on an edge

Steps

  1. 1

    Turn TabStack on for the monitor.

  2. 2

    Drag a window’s title bar to the left, right, top, or bottom 20% of the target pane until the Split overlay appears. The tab strip is not a split target.

  3. 3

    Release to create a new pane on that edge. This is pane-edge drop, not macOS edge-drag snap.
