Shortcuts of split view

keyboardshortcutsplit view

I just learned the feature of split view, does anyone know if there are shortcuts for that (moving a window to the left/right half of the screen)? If not, is there anyway to set up shortcuts?

Best Answer

macOS Catalina 10.15 onwards

  1. Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> App Shortcuts
  2. Click on the '+' icon
  3. Set the fields to tile a window to the left or right. For eg:
    • Application: All Applications
    • Menu Title: Tile Window to Left of Screen
    • Keyboard Shortcut: Shift + ⌘ + L

Setting keyboard a keyboard shortcut to tile window to Left of Screen

Your newly created shortcut is now visible in the dropdown menu over the full screen button!

Dropdown menu over the green menu bar button

Note: You need to exit fullscreen to be able to use the split screen shortcut.
