During the Ubuntu Developer Summit I decided to take a look to terminator and I was surprised to found the split function of division conceptually different from vim.
Me and Alberto Milone worked on the terminator python script to reverse the function, in my opinion incorrect. (Bug #234244)
We have written a patch for intrepid and hardy arguing that the correct interpretation of the division was that of VIM.
Terminator and VIM need as soon as possible a common guideline to decide “HOW TO SPLIT”
(horizontally and vertically) because now the function are inverted and there is a strange conflict.
Anyway Terminator Rocks!
