```

Which side of the current pane a split puts the new one on.

[`Above`](/en/ts/latest/reference/constants-panedirection-above/) and [`Left`](/en/ts/latest/reference/constants-panedirection-left/) are the same split as [`Below`](/en/ts/latest/reference/constants-panedirection-below/) and [`Right`](/en/ts/latest/reference/constants-panedirection-right/) with tmux's
`-b` flag, so the geometry is identical and only the occupant differs.
