The solution is to use the Emacs+ plugin, which doesn't require any particular experience with or understanding of Emacs. It simply adds additional capabilities.

With Emacs+, the "split-window-vertically" function splits the current window, whether that window was itself split from the initial window or not. You can split windows an arbitrary number of times.

You also have "split-window-horizontally", which does what you think.

Going back, there is also "join-other-windows" and "deactivate-window". The latter removes the current window, and the former removes all the other windows.

There is also "other-window", to move the focus to the next window.

All of these can be bound to keystrokes. I don't touch the mouse very often.

You can install Emacs+ from the marketplace.
