    Split Window Vertically (same profile) | `⌘` + `D`
    Split Window Horizontally (same profile) | `⌘` + `Shift` + `D` (mnemonic: shift is a wide horizontal key)

Then select the tab or use `⌘` + `[number]` to switch tabs. This also works across windows. So you can pop panes out and back in however you want. |

    A lot of shell shortcuts work in iterm and it's good to learn these because arrow keys, home/end
    keys and Mac equivalents don't always work. For example `⌘` + `Left Arrow` is usually the same as `Home`
    (go to beginning of current line) but that doesn't work in the shell. Home works in many apps but it
    takes you away from the home row.

    Move to the start of line | `Ctrl` + `A` or `Home`
    Move to the end of line | `Ctrl` + `E` or `End`
    Move forward a word | `Option` + `F`
    Move backward a word | `Option` + `B`
