Split Scene Command

Would love to see a split scene command. Very often I'll create a scene and fill it with beats, only to realize half way through writing the scene that it really should be two scenes.
I'd love to be able to do a "/" command in writing mode that simply splits the current scene into two scenes. Everything above the command remains in the current scene, everything below the command is split into a new scene that contains all the remaining beats, prose, content, etc.

We had a bit of a discussion about this in our community discord today and came up with the following (possible) work flow:
- you're in the scene, writing along
- you hit the / key to open the commands menu
- you select "Split scene here"
- it will cut out everything below the cursor and put it into a new scene right after
- the new scene's summary will be blank. the current scene's summary will be kept as is
- the new scene will have the same manual references and labels as the current scene

This, but for chapters! I don't tend to have multiple scenes per chapter, but also realize my very long chapter needs to be split into two quite often. Now I have to copy/paste into a new scene, and then split that scene from the chapter (esp if this is all happening in the same act)

Stable Lizard I think we could have this feature for both, and it will work for those with 1 scene chapters and those with several ones.

I agree.

Ever since I added/switched from another writing tool that has this function I’ve been looking for this on Novelcrafter!
