While there's a double pane for files, an errors/terminal board can't be divided into two panes right now. This would be very helpful, since terminal and errors are usually needed together - you type some code and see compilation notes in terminal. Most of the time there's too much whitespace at the right side of the terminal/errors board, so we can add same double-pane toggle icon [ | ] at the right side of the board and make it work:

  • if double-pane mode is switched on and one side is empty, then, we would add a terminal/errors board right there
  • if double-pane mode is switched off, then, make visible only left board, right one should disappear
  • if one of the boards is switched off using hotkey, then, remove it and make a board single-pane (if there's one board in double-pane - remove both panes)
