Feature Request: Keyboard shortcut to move editor to split view

In STM32CubeIDE, it is possible to view two different source files side by side by dragging editor tabs with the mouse. However, there is no keyboard shortcut or command to move the active editor to the left/right split.

This slows down workflow when frequently comparing files (e.g., main.c and app.c). A command such as “Move editor to right/left split” with assignable key binding would greatly improve productivity.

    I think this would be a core Eclipse thing - not specific to CubeIDE?

    So might be worth searching general Eclipse stuff, or asking in a general Eclipse forum ... ?
