I'm aware of 'initial_split_orientation' setting.
I would like to change this dynamically, by a command.
This situation is similar to the one raised recently by Kent (which
led to a new setting IIRC).
Being able to tell leo at startup how to split the window or where to
place the button toolbar is of course better than nothing. But having
commands that would allow users to switch this dynamically, by having
a command (and eventually binding it to a hotkey or to a script
button) would make leo more usable.

And here is the proof that my initial requirement is not a caprice. I
have a practical need for this.
Having source code involves relatively short headlines (class and
method/function names). But in my TODO I often use longer headlines.
Mixing these two is inconvenient: if the tree pane is too small (which
is good for nodes containing code) TODO headlines don't fit and I have
to resize the split ratio. By extending the  tree pane and then
switching to code nodes, I see that the edit area is small and code
doesn't fit already.

I imagine a workflow which would allow me to go for horizontal
splitting for code and hitting a hotkey to switch to vertical when
working with TODO nodes with long headlines.
