Suggestion for making HandySplit more flexible #4

Hi! I thought of an approach that might provide more flexibility, and wanted to ask if it makes sense.

It would be like "cut + paste editor", but choosing on which direction to paste. I think cut + paste is a concept that most people know intuitively.

You would have one key to cut an editor, and four other keys to paste the editor to the left, right, top and bottom of the current editor.

This way you don't need to first open editors as tabs, and it would allow you to move any existing editor and place it anywhere above, below, to the left and to the right of another editor.

To make it simpler, when "pasting", it could always split the current editor horizontally or vertically, and paste the editor in the new area. More powerful and complicated would be being able to specify "what do you mean with Right? Split the current editor? or the parent container?". I don't know if that's worth it.

What do you think about this approach?
