How to customize window tiling zones/grid

cinnamonwindow-managementwmctrl

In Cinnamon, pressing super+arrow keys (or other similar shortcut) resizes current window into a tile (snaps to grid). How can I customize this grid?

For example I would like to split screen into 3 equal vertical zones so that the window would behave like this:

This and this questions shows how to define shortcuts for putting windows in an aboslute position on the screen. It's nice, but I would prefer to use arrowkey-based shortcuts to move the window around.

I'm using Cinnamon (from Linux Mint), but a generic answer would be most welcome.

Cinnamon provided an extension called gtile for enhanced tiling, which might be what you are looking for.

To install the gtile extension: open the Menu -> Settings -> Extensions.
