One of the common forms of the stutter step is the patrol method vs zerg. You patrol backwards then split manually afterward. This way, when the banelings get in range of your marines the ones moving backwards from patrol automatically shoot and the ones being split may be chased or just reach the intended destination and attack afterwards. Then you just micro and manual splits from there. I've heard MKP uses this method but im not 100% sure of that.

Already been discussed and generally agreed that MKP does not use patrol split (anymore if ever), he boxes and splits manually. Only time I´ve seen MKP use patrol split, is to spread a big clumped up group of marines before the banes are even in sight (patrolling the entire group between 2 close points and then pressing stop makes the units autoscatter).

The second to last one is covered (like a bau5) in TheDoctor's guide.

Basically you put tanks on one key, the marines/medivacs on another and right click-shift with tanks to target fire banes.

After that, THEN do all your splitting. Focus fire is more imba :D

Having your bio on same hotkey as medivacs is generally very bad, it reduces the medivacs healing output by more than half while kiting since they dont actually heal while moving. Pretty sure there was a topic about it before, and pretty sure when the pros stop being lazy that it will become standard, possibly only in a few years like things in BW, even though its known now already.
