mac os x byobu vertical split using iTerm, tmux, zsh

Question

How to get vertical split on Mac OS X in byobu?

Ctrl + F2 is not working. It open new window instead of spliting the current.

In oposite spliting horizontaly with shift + F2 works ok.

I've disabled every control modifier shortcut I can find in the keyboard shortcuts and control+F-keys are still not being sent to the terminal. Most frustrating :/ — nedned, Dec 06 '18 at 07:17

You can use screen escape key to do that:

Ctrl + A and then % for vertical split or | for horizontal split.

For whole list: Ctrl + A and after that ?.

Ctrl + F2 is associated to Mac shortcut 'Move focus to the menu bar'. That might be why it is not working for you.

Yes, but disabling the Mac shortcut (in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> "Move focus to the menu bar") does not fix the problem. – Mickalot May 27 '22 at 20:05

You can also use shift + the arrow keys.
