That ^^^^ is one way.
I will sometimes split at a specific point.... I select the point and then without moving the mouse...left click to open the split window.... and split it.
I'm not on the DAW, but I believe that's how I do it. I often will use the snap to set to measure or even quarter since it is easy to do it but if the need doesn't line up on that point I write the split point number and make the paste line up to the little numbers.
