Split View

View multiple tabs side by side

Split your window into up to 4 panes. Each pane shows a different tab. Drag the dividers to resize.

Opening a Split

  • Drag a tab toward the content area — a preview zone appears showing where the tab will land (left, right, top, or bottom). Release to split.
  • Ctrl+\ — splits the current pane and adds the most recently used tab
  • Right-click a tab → Split with this tab

Resizing

Drag any divider between panes. Each pane has a minimum size of 15% so nothing gets too tiny.

During divider and split drags, webviews hide temporarily so the mouse tracks smoothly (WebView2 child windows are native OS windows that steal mouse events).

Closing a Split

  • Ctrl+\ when only one split exists — exits split view
  • Navigate to an internal page (bushido://newtab) in a pane to close that pane
  • Close the tab that's in a pane

Layout

The split layout is a recursive tree — you can split horizontally or vertically, and splits can nest. Up to 4 panes total.

Session Persistence

Your split layout saves with your session. Restart the browser and the same panes reappear with the same tabs.

Notes

  • Opening a new tab exits split view (keeps things simple — you're starting a new task)
  • The tab suspender skips any tab that's visible in a split pane
  • Each workspace has its own split state
