vi
, if you issue the command :sp
, the screen splits into two 'views', allowing you to edit more than one file from the same terminal. - The split-screen controls appear above the viewer, and cropped versions of both clips appear in the viewer. To change when the split-screen effect appears, drag the split-screen clip in the timeline so that it connects to a different spot in the clip below, or drag it to a different clip.
- MacOS’ split-screen view is also easily adjustable, just like Windows’. You can drag the slider that divides the two apps to make one larger and the other smaller.
Safari Split Screen Mac
The way Mac implements the split screen mode feels almost like a half-baked feature. Finding that green dot and then long clicking on it to enable it is just too much work. Fortunately, there are several third party apps which can help you solve this problem.
Along those same lines, is there a way to have multiple shells open in the same terminal?

You can do it in
screen
the terminal multiplexer.- To split vertically: ctrla then |.
- To split horizontally: ctrla then S (uppercase 's').
- To unsplit: ctrla then Q (uppercase 'q').
- To switch from one to the other: ctrla then tab
Note: After splitting, you need to go into the new region and start a new session via ctrla then c before you can use that area.
EDIT, basic screen usage:
- New terminal: ctrla then c.
- Next terminal: ctrla then space.
- Previous terminal: ctrla then backspace.
- N'th terminal ctrla then [n]. (works for n∈{0,1…9})
- Switch between terminals using list: ctrla then '(useful when more than 10 terminals)
- Send ctrla to the underlying terminal ctrla then a.

Try tmux (Terminal MUltipleXer):

As mentioned in the comments, besides screen, another good terminal multiplexer is tmux. You can refer to the manual for a complete description and command reference. Some basic operations to get started are:
- Split screen vertically: Ctrlb and Shift5
- Split screen horizontally: Ctrlb and Shift'
- Toggle between panes: Ctrlb and o
- Close current pane: Ctrlb and x
You can achieve more complex layouts by splitting panes. You can also have multiple windows with panes and switch between them.
- Create windows: Ctrlb and c
- Switch to next window: Ctrlb and n
- Switch to previous window: Ctrlb and p
- Destroy current window: Ctrlb and Shift7

If you want a program that just splits a terminal¹, there's splitvt. There are programs that split a terminal and do a lot of other stuff besides, such as Screen, Tmux, Emacs, …
¹ It's the terminal you're splitting, not the shell.

Apart from the excellent suggestions on Screen and Tmux if you are using some sort of window manager you may be interested in Terminator you can split horizontally or vertically fashions, plus tabs and more... here's a list of features taken from the author's web site:
- Arrange terminals in a grid
- Tabs
- Drag and drop re-ordering of terminals
- Lots of keyboard shortcuts
- Save multiple layouts and profiles via GUI preferences editor
- Simultaneous typing to arbitrary groups of terminals
Have a look to the screenshots on the project site.
Most important you can combine Terminator with Screen/Tmux.

Konsole for KDE has a built in function:
- Ctrl+( to Split View Left/Right
- Ctrl+) to Split View Top/Bottom
- Shift+Tab will cycle through the split views
- Shift+Left Arrow/Right Arrow will cycle the current view through the tabs/views
- Ctrl+Shift+X to close the current view

Use terminator.
Should be available via your favourite package manager, if you use a mainstream distribution.
It is the only terminal multiplexer where copy-pasting works properly from within panes in your window.
Update:
tilix
is a terminator
alternative which is almost completely on par with terminator (and where copypasting works properly, too). After evaluating it I still stick with terminator
however due to nicer tab handling and easier configuration (from my POV).sjassjas
App For Mac To Split Screen
I'm a happy user of Guake with Byobu inside it, which by default use
tmux
(probably better than screen
).Three steps
- Install them (no PPAs needed on Ubuntu nor Debian, check for other distros)
- Add it to available shells (as I told in this Guake Github issue):
- On Guake preferences (
guake-prefs
) choose Byobu as the default interpreter:
- Optional: Uncheck 'Show tab bar', since you will use Byobu for that:
- If a shortcut doesn't work try disabling Guake ones that might interfere (in my case was Ctrl+F2 for vertical split):
Other suggestions
- Learn shortcuts with Shift+F1 or this excellent screencast.
- Learn available byobu terminal commands with
apropos byobu
- To use fn keys on Midnight Commander use Alt+Nº or Shift+F12 to disable byobu F-keys.

Try Vertical Split for GNU Screen
This patch provides a vertical split feature for current releases of GNU Screen. The feature is designed to function in the same manner as screen's existing split command, but dividing the regions vertically instead of horizontally. Both forms of splits can be used together in any combination/quantity/order desired. Something similar is slated to appear in GNU Screen 4.1 soon, and is already available in CVS per this mailing list thread (and has been included in the Debian and Ubuntu screen packages starting with 4.0.3-10). Also, a recent project named ScreenWM is designed specifically to work with a vsplit-patched screen (check it out!).

How To Use Split View On Mac
You can connect a clip to another clip so that both clips play at the same time, using a split-screen effect. You can also select whether the connected clip appears in the left, right, top, or bottom of the frame, and whether the connected clip slides into the frame. If you add a slide-in transition, you can set its duration.
Create a split-screen clip
- Select a clip or range that you want to show at the same time as another clip, and drag it above a clip in the timeline.When you see the green Add icon (+), release the mouse button.
- If the video overlay controls aren’t shown, click the Video Overlay Settings button.
- Click the pop-up menu on the left and choose Split Screen.The split-screen controls appear above the viewer, and cropped versions of both clips appear in the viewer.To change when the split-screen effect appears, drag the split-screen clip in the timeline so that it connects to a different spot in the clip below, or drag it to a different clip. You can also drag the ends to lengthen or shorten it.
- To apply the change, click the Apply button in the split-screen controls.
