Split Editor
Describe the request
Allow splitting the editor into multiple panes.

Describe the current behavior
There is only a single editor pane.
🙁 You must scroll up and down through the file to reference the contents of another section of the current file. 🙁 You must switch back and forth between tabs in order to reference the contents of another file.

Additional context
A split editor capability was accidentally introduced via a Theia dependency update, then removed (https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/pull/940) after it was found to be not fully functional (https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/552).
The same feature is in VS Code by pressing Split Editor Right (COMMAND+\ on macOS).

You can do F1 > type Split Editors > and press Enter but then you cannot close the split tabs.
Yes, I see it. It is done by command, but I want a button like VSCode has. And please create a cross button to close tabs too.
The point of this issue is the making of two buttons. One for splitting editors like VSCode has and the second button will close the tab.
Thanks a lot.
Let's rephrase it to "we would like to have"
Thank you contributors for all the work done!
PS: RC5 : Still two main issues IMHO: Split view and serial monitor
