Drag one tab to the right side of the window to view them in split-screen mode. After making these changes, split-screen can be enabled by pressing Ctrl+Shift+2 on your keyboard. Although the feature is currently partially broken and only works when the tab is dragged to the right side, it is expected to improve productivity once the issue is resolved.
