Split window and move cursor to new window with predefined Emacs command/function

Question

I can split windows with C-x 2 (split-window-below) or C-x 3 (split-window-right). But the cursor does not move to the new window.

When I split I need to have the cursor in the new window. Is there a predefined Emacs command that does this?

I am aware about that there are some solutions with self written functions.

Nope. What’s wrong with taking one that you’ve found and binding it to a key?

There is no predefined function for that functionality (in Emacs 28).
