Some way to switch between multiple views that can display different data

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I quite often have the need to look at two different places at the same time. For example watching the logs of a pod while I trigger a cronjob.

Describe the solution you'd like Ideally it would be great to be able to open in essence multiple tabs, which all can display different views. One could be watching a log and another could be displaying the list of pods etc. Inspiration could be gotten from for example the ranger file manager, which allows you to open multiple tabs, displaying different folders (the shortcut by default is comma- where n is the number of the tab).

Describe alternatives you've considered Another approach could be allowing you to "send a view to the background". This would only allow for example two views. You could be watching a log and then "send it to background" and switch to pod view and then do something and after that switch back to the log you were watching earlier.

Additional context I suppose the tview pages could work with this? Any other suggestions?
