--- Comment #1 from Egmont Koblinger <egmont at gmail.com> ---
Indeed what Konsole and Terminator do are two completely different things.

What Konsole has is called "split view" because it indeed splits the _view_ of
the given terminal emulator session.

Note that Terminator doesn't call its feature "split view", it avoids using the
word "view" exactly because it does not offer multiple "views" to the same
terminal. The feature it provides is simply called "split" in the menu, or
"split terminals" in the manual page.

Another popular choice for the so-called "paned" interface (what you're asking
for) is Tilix, which calls the same feature "Add terminal right/down".

(On the other hand, Terminator, Tilix and other VTE-based emulators cannot do a
konsole-like "split view" because the underlying VTE terminal emulation widget
doesn't support this.)

(I'm not a konsole developer so I cannot comment on whether this feature will
be implemented.)
