Weird that you are having issues - it has worked flawlessly for me. I wonder what could be causing it?

Good catch Marko -  Matt did specify the shift key originally.  I would prefer the shift key myself, as it is larger than the control key and harder to fat finger. Maybe Matt could assign both?  It's not likely shift+click on the Playing Now Tree node would be used for anything else.

All that said, adding a vertically split Playing Now layout is the single best MC GUI enhancement in the seventeen years I've been using it. Being able to show all my high-res cover art at the biggest size possible, AND the play queue as thumbnails simultaneously makes me extremely happy - more cover art/less text... yes please!  Plus you can easily toggle back to a horizontal split if needed... fantastic.

I think ctrl+click (or shift+click) to switch between horizontal\vertical split and having a shift+ctrl+click to swap above\below or left\right of the playlist, depending on which split mode it is in, would be killer.

That is an interesting idea, and I am all for maximum configurability.

That said, a vertical split with the playlist on the right is perfection for me. I also think having a vertical split is important for users coming from other players, where that is typical, and will make the transition easier.

My mistake. I thought Ctrl was a toggle.  Ctrl is vertical split. No-Ctrl is horizontal split.

No. CTRL is the opposite of whatever the setting is set to.
