#Iterm split pane plus

Now your 2 split panes are exactly where you want them, navigated to the directories you want, you can set up multiple tabs for multiple projects, etc.

Boot up iterm and hit CMD+Shift+R to restore your saved session arrangement.

Or you can just cd to the directory you want on bottom, the world is 100% wide open).

Maybe you have a neovim profile and a shell profile. Use 2 different profiles for top and bottom. (You can set up each split as a profile that will run a command on start.so you can open neovim in the directory you want up top and build/run your project on the bottom split.

Now, you can set up your iTerm instance to do a million things here.

Resize your bottom pane to the percentage you want and size your entire iTerm application.

Navigate to the directories you want to work in both on top and bottom.

Split horizontally with your current profile (CMD+Shift+D).

In iTerm, you can already split horizontal with CMD+Shift+D.

Technically what you're looking for with 2 splits, one on top, one on bottom is, somewhat confusingly, called a 'Horizontal Split', not a vertical split.

Plus iterm has a great tmux integration, so if you're going to go tmux anyway for session persistence, just use iterm for your main stuff. Tmux can do amazing things.but if you're anything like me, if you're not missing them now, you're not going to use them when you switch.

The only reason I use tmux at all is because I use linux and I can't use iTerm. There is zero reason to use tmux for splitting panes in iTerm.
