Bug Description

In Nautilus I can hit F3 and the window splits vertically into two so you can view 2 directories at the same time. I personally think this is a very neat and tidy alternative to opening multiple windows to drag and drop files between directories.

It would also be useful to be able to right click on a file and have a "move to other pane" option.

Thanks for reading!

I have really gotten used to this in nautilus and miss it in Files.
Its either this or a simpler option to launch a new window.

A new window can be simply created using Ctrl-N. if the branch lp:~jeremywootten/pantheon-files/drag-tab-to-new-window is merged then a new window can also be created by dragging a tab out of the current window, and in the case of a new window created by keyboard, it is automatically tiled against the existing window(s). With these features the advantage of a split-view option is decreased and it is questionable whether it is worth the extra complexity.
