Adds up to four editor groups through Split Right and Split Down in the tab bar’s More menu. Each new group starts with an independent, numbered untitled buffer. Users can resize groups, navigate with F6/Shift+F6 or Ctrl+K then an arrow, and close a split without losing its tabs or edits.
Opening a file already visible in another group shares its buffer and undo history while keeping independent view positions. Save/quit, reload, diagnostics, async diff/commit results, plugin tabs, and settings now reach the owning groups. Highlight active split is enabled by default under Appearance > Window.
Second extraction from #1481, built on merged #1620. Cross-group tab movement/Open to the Side, tab bar styles, and split-layout restoration remain separate follow-ups. Existing opt-in tab restoration retains its flat tab-list behavior.
Built from 4ff34c0ffbc0. Links expire on Nov 29, 2026.
Try it in the browser (emulated): runs this build in 32-bit Linux emulated inside the page, with no download or sign-in. It is much slower than a native build and is meant for quick checks of behavior and UI, not performance or terminal compatibility. Startup takes up to a minute.
Downloads need a GitHub sign-in and arrive as zips. On Linux and macOS, run chmod +x ttt after unzipping. These binaries run this pull request's code, so only run them if you trust it.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The PR adds editor layouts with up to four groups, shared document content, and independent view state. It adds split, close, equalize, and directional focus commands. App services and editor operations now handle documents and tabs across groups.
Cross-group services and async results internal/app/*
Updates save, plugin, LSP, watch, Git gutter, search, file operations, diff, and commit-detail paths to handle multiple groups.
Validation and documentation internal/app/*_test.go, internal/ui/*_test.go, tests/e2e/*_test.go, README.md, docs-web/src/content/docs/*
Adds tests for group lifecycle, editing, navigation, resizing, shared files, and cross-group services. Documents split-group behavior, keybindings, and settings.

Explanation
The title "feat(editor): add resizable split groups" matches the main change. The PR adds up to four split editor groups created from the More menu, with resizing, directional focus, and close behavior. The title names the core feature and uses a conventional commit prefix. It does not cover the many supporting changes, such as shared buffers and settings routing, which is expected for a short title.

Comparing bda5ccae91a9 with 4ff34c0ffbc0 on the same runner: fastest of 3 alternating passes at 5x each, -short (2,000-line large file).
Allocated bytes measure total allocation per operation, not peak or retained RAM.
Logs are opened by each side's built ttt binary, 1x per pass, timed from launch until the first frame shows the log; _wrap rows start with word wrap on, and _edit opens a log committed to git, types a character, and moves down 20 lines. Time includes process startup, so the 1 MiB case is mostly startup; peak RSS is the process's maximum resident memory. The 1, 128, and 256 MiB fixtures are generated once outside timing and shared across both checkouts, so reads may use the OS file cache.
Code files open a 64 MiB Go file, this repository's sources repeated, with LSP and the git gutter off; _type also types 20 characters and _enter presses Enter 10 times before quitting.

Timing changes are informational because shared CI runners are noisy; a benchmark error still fails the job.

Collect diff search sources from every editor group.
DiffSearchSources reads diff tabs only from a.EditorGroup, which is the active group. Open non-PR diffs in inactive groups are therefore omitted from global search. Global search covers the whole workspace and no inspected code limits diff search to the active group. Iterate all editor groups when building the source list, and keep the existing seen deduplication by TabName so a tab is not searched twice.

Retain handler ownership until the last handled view closes.
Open the same handled binary file in two groups, then close one view. OnContentTabClose reaches this deletion even though the other view remains open. The next SyncFileHandlerTabs cannot find that view's owner, so unloading the owner bypasses its binary-card fallback. Track handled views separately, or release the path entry only after the last handled view closes. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update OnContentTabClose so closing one handled view does not remove the path’s handler ownership while another view for that file remains open.

Minor · Determine inline-diff demand across all groups. · gitgutter.go:38
internal/app/gitgutter.go:38 Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Determine inline-diff demand across all groups.
If group A shows an inline diff and active group B shows the same file normally, these checks set diffOn to false. If the baseline becomes conflicted, the refresh result has Conflict=true, but applyGitGutterResult skips closeConflictedInlineDiff. Group A keeps its editable diff. With gutters disabled, scheduling can skip the refresh entirely.
Check all groups for an inline diff of the requested path in both the request and scheduling paths.

Update the inline-diff demand checks around IsInlineDiffPath in both the request and scheduling paths to detect the requested file in any editor group, not only the active group. Preserve the existing refresh behavior when any group has that path open inline, including when gutters are disabled.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Keep a pinned target placeholder when merging tabs.
If the receiving group has one pinned, untouched placeholder, closing another split moves its tabs through this branch. The branch deletes the pinned tab and resets pinnedCount. MergeTabsFrom protects pinned source placeholders, but this target branch does not.
Require the target placeholder to be unpinned before replacing it. This preserves the tab-retention behavior when closing a split.

Review comments at @internal/app/app_lsp.go:
- Line 658: Update snapshotCodeActionBuffers to retrieve each path’s buffer
through editorBufferForPath instead of the current group’s BufferForPath, so
snapshots and applyInteractiveCodeActionEdit use the same buffer identity while
preserving version capture.
Review comments at @internal/app/editor_split.go:
- Line 101: In removeEditorGroup, activate keep only when the group being
removed is the active EditorGroup; otherwise leave the current active group and
keyboard focus unchanged.
Review comments at @internal/app/pr.go:
- Around line 29-30: Update the result-delivery loop that uses
group.DiffWidgetByTab so it searches every tab’s contents for result.Widget
rather than checking only the first tab with result.TabName; deliver the pending
result and complete loading for the matching widget. Add a deterministic test
that merges same-named tabs before result delivery and verifies the retained tab
receives its content and loading completion.
Review comments at @internal/ui/editor_group.go:
- Around line 502-504: Update OpenSharedFileFrom to exclude ReadOnly tabs when
searching peer tabs for a matching FilePath, so read-only tabs are not cloned
and normal opens continue through the local open path.
Review comments at @README.md:
- Line 322: Update the editor split documentation paragraph to remove the
unavailable cross-group tab movement instructions: dragging tabs between groups,
**Open to the Side**, and **Split: Move to Other Group**. Preserve the
descriptions of currently available split behavior and commands.

Also addressed all three outside-diff findings and the unverified pinned-placeholder finding in e7249f4:
Global diff search collects every group, deduplicates tab names, and navigates to the owning inactive group.
Handled content views release their own widgets independently, while the path-close callback runs only after the last content view closes. The handler owner stays tracked so unload still replaces the surviving view with its binary card.
Both immediate and debounced gutter refreshes detect inline-diff demand across groups, including when gutters are disabled.
Merging preserves a pinned target placeholder.
Each has deterministic regression coverage that failed before the fix. Full make test, make lint (0 issues), and make build pass. The five inline findings are also fixed and replied to; waiting for the latest-commit review and CI.

Preserve pinned placeholders during shared opens too.
If the target has one pinned, untouched placeholder, opening a file already present in another group reaches this branch. The guard passes, and the next statements remove the pinned tab. MoveActiveTabTo now protects this case, but cloneTabTo still discards it. Add !target.IsActiveTabPinned() before replacing the placeholder. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Also fixed the outside-diff pinned-placeholder finding in 7a77f6e. Shared opens now preserve a pinned, untouched target placeholder, matching the merge behavior. Updated the existing shared-open regression to require that the original pinned buffer remains and that the newly opened view is unpinned. It fails before the guard change and passes afterward. Full tests, lint (0 issues), and build pass.

Adds up to four editor groups through Split Right and Split Down in the tab bar’s More menu. Each new group starts with an independent, numbered untitled buffer. Users can resize groups, navigate with F6/Shift+F6 or Ctrl+K then an arrow, and close a split without losing its tabs or edits.
Opening a file already visible in another group shares its buffer and undo history while keeping independent view positions. Save/quit, reload, diagnostics, async diff/commit results, plugin tabs, and settings now reach the owning groups. Highlight active split is enabled by default under Appearance > Window.
Second extraction from #1481, built on merged #1620. Cross-group tab movement/Open to the Side, tab bar styles, and split-layout restoration remain separate follow-ups. Existing opt-in tab restoration retains its flat tab-list behavior.
