Ask your question!

I have defined a key binding to create a horizontal split like this

...
		{ key = "F6", action = wezterm.action.SplitVertical({ domain = "CurrentPaneDomain" }) },
...

which works fine.

But how can I get the mouse focus automatically into the newly created right pane?

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you want here 🤔
What exactly is the issue with the mouse?

[manfredlotz]

I think what I want is simply not possible to do.

When the mouse focus is in the wezterm terminal I can select text. When I do a SplitVertical my keyboard focus switches to the new pane which is what I want. Additionally, I was thinking if it is possible to get the mouse focus moved to the new pane as well. Now, if for some reason I like to select text in the new pane I first have to move the mouse pointer to the new pane.

Ah so move the mouse pointer to the focused pane, yeah that's not possible with wezterm currently.
