This is the first screen , you can see three new tab within a single window .

This is the second split xfce within a single window as an example

I want the first one to be split like the second ones. Now my question is , is it possible on default mx linux-19 with xfce . ?

Xfce is the entire desktop environment (please read that) so your question still doesn't make sense. What are you actually trying to do, have multiple panes in your terminal, your file manager, or in another application and if so which one? What terminal, file manager or whatever it is that you want split panes in are you using?

Maybe, but it's hard to tell when he's calling whatever he's trying to use "xfce" rather than its actual name.

OK, you're talking about the terminal. The app tmux is preinstalled in MX and will do what you want to do. For instructions on using it

Code: Select all

man tmux
in a terminal and/or search the web for tmux to find user guides. To use it run

Code: Select all

tmux
in your terminal then use its keystroke commands for tab placement before opening a new tab.

If this is solved to your satisfaction, could you please edit your original post #1 at the very top of the topic by clicking the pencil tip icon, the one circled in red in my screenshot image below (yours won't have the red circle)

and add [SOLVED] at the front of the subject? This will make it easier for others when they search the forum looking for a solution to the same problem. Thanks.
