I want to split a panel in two and open the current file in the new pane? I used to believe that alt+shift+2 would do the job. But it isn't working for me. How can I do it?

    "*It isn't working for me*" is incredibly vague and unhelpful. Instead, describe **exactly** what is happening and *not* happening, using as much detail and being as clear and precise as possible. – MattDMo Aug 09 '15 at 13:46

You can use multiple key bindings for that. Based on the file containing the default key-bindings:

  1. alt+shift+2: set two column layout and focus on second group (currently empty second column).
  2. ctrl+1: focus on first group.
  3. ctrl+shift+2: move current file to second group (right column).

If you want to do it with a unique key-binding you can see this or this question and others that explain how to use a unique key-binding containing multiple commands.

Note: the given key-bindings work under Linux. Key-bidings on Windows or OS X may be different.
