To swap 'split' labels

This will make it more intuitive for users.

  • Split Horizontally should add horizontal divider (split). This makes this two vertical GTK controls.
  • Split Vertically should add vertical divider (split). This makes this two horizontal GTK controls.

Here are examples from other terminal emulators:

  • Terminator:
    terminator_split
  • Terminology:
    terminology_split

I'm not sure about this. While it seems to be true that other terminals use these terms in the reverse connotation, Final Term's terminology aligns with that of GTK (see e.g. the screenshot on http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/gtk/GtkPaned.html).

@p-e-w yes this is still absolutely correct.

panes

For instance, in order to create two horizontal panels, you need to split them vertically. The actual split (divider) line is vertical, while panels are arranged horizontally.

This appeared confusing to me before, but now I think it is more logical.
