From 4ff6dc7f8757e6ed4df4d2be1adf18b59c3b2d55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Finn Evers Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2025 13:17:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Change default pane split directions (#36101) Closes #32538 This PR adjusts the defaults for splitting panes along the horizontal and vertical actions. Based upon user feedback, the adjusted values seem more reasonable as default settings, hence, go with these instead. Release Notes: - Changed the default split directions for the `pane: split horizontal` and `pane: split vertical` actions. You can restore the old behavior by modifying the `pane_split_direction_horizontal` and `pane_split_direction_vertical` values in your settings. --- assets/settings/default.json | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/assets/settings/default.json b/assets/settings/default.json index 28cf591ee7..0f1818ac7f 100644 --- a/assets/settings/default.json +++ b/assets/settings/default.json @@ -82,10 +82,10 @@ // Layout mode of the bottom dock.
