Thank you for contributing, we are very proud of you! :heart:
The point of this new feature is to avoid the following situation:
I think it's a widely accepted convention to work in a layout of 3 panels: file tree, text editor, and preview. But if launching the preview always splits the editor widget, you keep winding up with 2 preview splits and you repeatedly have to drag one of the preview tabs over to the adjacent split.
To solve this I have introduced 4 new insert modes (
merge-left, merge-right, merge-top, merge-bottom) which function like (split-left, split-right, split-top, split-bottom) but any existing splits will be reused. The behavior effectively changes totab-afteron the tab layout found to the left/right/top/bottom.See the dockpanel example which now has a context menu for split and merge operations on the content widgets.
