Split current window in two. The result is two viewports on
- the same file. Make new window N high (default is to use half
- the height of the current window). Reduces the current window
- height to create room (and others, if the 'equalalways' option
- is set, 'eadirection' isn't "hor", and one of them is higher
- than the current or the new window).

Note: CTRL-S does not work on all terminals and might block
further input, use CTRL-Q to get going again.
