trying this feature out in my fork and loving it!

except, I'd rather it be a horizontal split. I could also see an argument for ::Replace, too
is it too unreasonable to ask for this to be configurable via a settable option?
I don't think helix decides on a split type anywhere else; maybe having a global "split-direction" option that other things may potentially use in the future is a good idea

Adding configuration for this small thing is easily going to be rejected by the maintainers. Other adjustments would also be increasing complexity and could delay this PR from being merged

fair enough. let's get this merged first
good luck!

What you can also do, at least, if you are working with one pane, is transposing your layout with <C-w><C-t>.

@TornaxO7 yep thank you! I am aware
for now I changed it to horizontal in source in my fork; it's just a defaults preference
