SUMMARY

This is a "Powerful When Needed" feature request. 

The primary problem is that manually splitting vertical & horizontal every time
is meanless. Some users will always want and end up with a similar layout, why
not just manage the layout automatically?

I have seen similar features implemented in multiple software including other
terminals, tiling window managers and emacs/vim. Here is one of the best
explanations with nice charts.

TLDR: Add an option to enable `automatic layout management, and provide a few
layout presets like stack, tall, fat, grid, simple horizontal and simple
vertical.

EXPECTED RESULT

Instead of considering split vertically or horizontally and the currently
active window, the users can simply just create new windows without thinking
and the layout fits their habit & need perfectly.
