Is your feature request related to a problem?
I searched for key bindings/commands for that, but couldn't find one
Describe the solution you'd like
Use Case: I have multiple tabs open and want to move one tab to a specific side. Very useful I you want to have an overview of both tabs. Currently I can only split the tab and must close the other one if I want to avoid multiple tabs that I don't need.
A keyboard shortcuts would be really useful. That also affects the context menu for users that use a mouse. The issue is kind of related to zed-industries/zed#5107 that I created. I would go even so far to suggest to make it the default behavior (if there was only one button) or priorities it in the context menu(s). In ~90% of the cases I want to move a tab and don't duplicate it. Not sure why duplicating is the default behavior in most editors. But that needs more investigation of course.
If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

I find myself splitting and closing the original tab as well. This would be a nice QOL addition.
I used it all the time in Atom and would love to move a tab to another pane without having to close the original one, which was duplicated.
