Imagine using an application that supports multiple panes (PDF viewer, code editor, browser, etc.) You start with a single pane and a single document open in it.

You execute a command titled ‘Split Vertically’. A second view of this document appears in a split pane.

Where do you expect this new pane to appear?

To rephrase: Does ‘vertically’ refer to the line that splits the panes or to the resulting layout of the panes?

@kytta You split the existing pane vertically. Think of a sheet of paper, you'd cut it from top to bottom, right?
