Now I released a version (we can call it 0.91) which for me works with the PHP server. Can you try it out? If your on a Mac, can you try if the keyboard shortcut work after these changes?

Finally! Thanks for your time with the testing!
To summerize: Deletion of some slashes and dots solved these problems.
@servicethinker Does it work for you now? Can I close this issue?
Kirby Splitview for panelBar
Do you use Splitview and the panelBar plugin? Or do you want to be able to click on something to bring up the Splitview, instead of the keyboard shortcut?
Then the Kirby Splitview for panelBar might be what you are looking for. It add a link to the panelBar. The screenshot shows the panelBar (not the Splitview).
https://github.com/jenstornell/kirby-splitview-panel-bar
You do something like this to make it work. More info in the docs .
c::set('panelbar.elements', array(
'edit',
'splitview_link'
));
Credit goes to @distantnative for helping me with this plugin and for creating the panelBar plugin.

Abandon Splitview - Do you want to take over?
Iām abandon this project and will not add any more updates to it.
If you want to take over the development, just send me a message or a comment and I will give you the repo.
Reasons
- Iāve tested it in a real live production environment and it did not work as well as I was expecting.
- I took a long time to build and it will probably do if Iāll continue.
- It does not support multi language.
- I agree with many that it should preview before the save, not after. Splitview canāt do that.
Reveal - New plugin
Iām making a completely new plugin called āRevealā. Itās kind of a replacement for Splitview but from the inside and without the extras.
Some short info about it:
- Itās a panel field, registered from a plugin.
- It extends the textarea field.
- Preview before save.
- Splitscreen.
- Add css file to get your style.
- Add html template to get your markup.
- Is using Ajax which means it takes kirbytext tags and other stuff into account.
Except for a few minor things + docs Iām already done. There is a reveal plugin on my Github account, but donāt use it. Itās far from the same thing.

Congrats on the initial effort for SplitView though, I agree that it would probably be a beast to maintain and make sure it works in more situations for more people. Sometimes letting a project go and going for something simpler based on your hard-won experience is the right move.

Thanks! 
Yes, if my heart is not there for the project, Iām not the one for it.
One reason the new one is much simpler is that when doing it like I do now, from the inside of the panel, many of the features are simply not needed anymore.
Too bad it took a lot of effort in building Splitview to realize that. I guess itās learning by doingā¦
Teaser of the new Reveal plugin
What do you think about this? Itās probably close to the final version.
- This preview is activated by a button next to the textarea.
- Itās closed by an X in the upper right corner.
- The content is parsed, for example kirbytext tags.
- A green line shows what field is active, in this case the second field.

Haha! Iām already following reveal on github even though it says āDONāT USE ITā. I knew it would turn out amazing!
Is it in a state where we can test t to provide feedback? Iām not sure my feedback now with just the screeshot would be any worth.
Keep up the awesome work!
Itās rewritten and not really the same field as that repo anymore. You can try it but donāt have any expectations at all. 
Iāll open a new post when the real plugin is there.
Sounds promising!
Quick idea, possibly totally dumb: you wrote it extends the textarea field, so I guess we have to use a āRevealā field to get this feature. It means if I want to preview a markdown field Iām out of luck? So what about using such a field as a preview of other fields? In the blueprint we would give a list of the fields it can preview.
Yes, you are right. At the current state it only supports the textarea field. However, if the textarea field is overwritten by another textarea field, it will probably work as well.
An example is this one by @thguenther:
Markdown field
Maybe Iāll add support for the markdown field as well, but probably not in the first version.

Greta plugin! Any news about release date?
Thanks! 
There is a working version, but there are some details Iām not fully happy with yet, so itās on hold. When I need it myself again I will finish it.

You canāt compare, but the YAMKE field has a side-by-side editing mode (with live preview).
Kirby YAKME - yet another kirby markdown editor
Like I said; you can not compare a WYWIWYG-preview with the Editor Field I mention here, but maybe it can come in handy for some of us.
https://github.com/1n3JgKl9pQ6cUMrW/Kirby-YAKME/raw/master/kirby_yakme-capture.gif
To compare the new Reveal field with Yakme (from my perspective):
Yakme
- An editor
- Very fast preview (JS)
Reveal
- Inherit the textarea and add a preview mode to that.
- Live front end preview with the real output including kirbytext tags etc (Ajax)
Both
- Both fields have a splitscreen mode.
I hope to support Yakme at some point to the Reveal field. Could be a really powerful combo.
