I had a reader of my blog leave me a comment on my post about Arc's split view that noted Vivaldi has equivalent functionality referred to as tab tiling. It's a bit more involved than than Arc's, which I will illustrate.
Vivaldi tab tiling setup
The steps I took to prepare two tabs for tiling where:
Pressing the command key and only the command key, select two tabs to be tiled with the mouse. Each tab will have a dashed box drawn around it when selected. Note that this is a bit different than what you will read on the Vivaldi documentation website.
Right click on either selected tab to pull up a dialog, and click on 'Tile 2 Tabs'.
There's a secret to having the two tabs tiled in the order you want. In my case I wanted the WordPress editor on the left and the other tab on the right. The order of the tiling is dependent on the order of the tabs. Thus, the WordPress tab should be above any other tab you want on the right. The example above doesn't show that, unfortunately; it's in reverse order.
After having tried this out I find Arc split view superior because;
It's drag and drop, and
It doesn't matter what order the tabs are in.
The Vivaldi method is too finicky for my tastes. However, if you're a big Vivaldi fan, then you'll quickly pick up the process and not really care. Nevertheless it would be nice of the Vivaldi devs would implement tab tiling as drag-and-drop and tab order agnostic. If the Vivaldi developers didn't implement drag-and-drop, it would be more intuitive if the order the tabs are command key clicked is the order they would be tiled, from left to right.
