[konsole] [Bug 453218] New: Restore split views sharing tabs globally from 18.12.3

[Tomaz Canabrava]

The old Split View system was broke by design and we closed a *lot* of bug
reports for it.
In contrast, this is the second bug report opened for the new Split View
system.

You couldn’t, for example split the view vertically and horizontally at the
same time, and the view had more tabs than anything.

It’s not technically easy to add both styles, for those who like it,
because the old style a split contained tabs, and on the new one a tab
contains splits.  Adding both styles would be a maintenance hell.

What we miss currently is the hability of using a terminal in more than one
split, that’s doable, and I think it’s worth a try.

Would that work for you?
The old tab management code won’t come back.
