I just found a simple solution  You can drag an opened file and move towards the four sides of the Editor  it will show a highlighted area that you can drop to  It will split the view automatically  either horizontally  vertically  or even into three rows   VSCode v1 30 2  Update  you can also drag a file from the Explorer to split the Editor in the same way above

By default  editor groups are laid out in vertical columns  e g  when you split an editor to open it to the side   You can easily arrange editor groups in any layout you like  both vertically and horizontally   To support flexible layouts  you can create empty editor groups  By default  closing the last editor of an editor group will also close the group itself  but you can change this behavior with the new setting workbench editor closeEmptyGroups  false     There are a predefined set of editor layouts in the new View  gt  Editor Layout menu     Editors that open to the side  for example by clicking the editor toolbar Split Editor action  will by default open to the right hand side of the active editor  If you prefer to open editors below the active one  configure the new setting workbench editor openSideBySideDirection  down   There are many keyboard commands for adjusting the editor layout with the keyboard alone  but if you prefer to use the mouse  drag and drop is a fast way to split the editor into any direction     Keyboard shortcuts  Here are some handy keyboard shortcuts to quickly navigate between editors and editor groups   If you d like to modify the default keyboard shortcuts  see Key Bindings for details       go to the right editor      go to the left editor   Tab open the next editor in the editor group MRU list    Tab open the previous editor in the editor group MRU list   1 go to the leftmost editor group   2 go to the center editor group   3 go to the rightmost editor group  unassigned go to the previous editor group  unassigned go to the next editor group   W close the active editor   K W close all editors in the editor group   K  W close all editors
