But in VSCode videos/tutorials I see people somehow have splitted window, with default settings on the left and user/workspace setting on the right:

How I can enable it?

As mentioned @Juraj Kocan in comments, it happens after last VS Code updates.

This is Github issue related to this new "feature"

This one helped me: 

"workbench.settings.useSplitJSON": true,
"workbench.settings.editor": "json",
