Other applications like Slate always use accessibility API.Īpple has leveled up the native window manager settings and functionality and many people don't take full advantage of (or know about) the new implementations of mission control, side by side split view and full screen mode. Using System Events (or the accessibility API) works with more applications, but it can also appear a bit glitchy because the position and size are not changed at the same time. The scripts first try to tell the application to change the bounds property and then tell System Events to change the position and size properties. Tell application (path to frontmost application as text) Not all apps have these menu items in their “Window” menu, so those apps won’t respond to these keyboard shortcuts Avoid the shift key as a modifier as it can make the animations go in slow motion. Some easy ones I chose were “ctrl + alt + ←” and “ctrl + alt + →” because they are pretty unlikely to conflict with anything else. The keyboard shortcut recorder there will let you pick any shortcut, but if they conflict with a shortcut that’s built into macOS then it won’t work. Zoom (executes a “maximize” for some apps).Enter Full Screen (performs the macOS full screen as a “space”- the default shortcut is cmd+ctrl+f, but you can pick your own here).Move Window to Left Side of Screen and Move Window to Right Side of Screen (move the window to fill up the left or right half of the screen (these menu items are shown when the alt key is held in the Window menu).

Hit the plus button and add the Menu Title exactly as it appears along with whichever shortcuts you want: Go to System Preferences → Keyboard → Shortcuts → App Shortcuts.With macOS Catalina you can do this with shortcut keys Phrases for left / right can be found on the green 'full screen' button: Or a different title: 'Fenster auf die linke Seite des Bildschirms bewegen'

German : 'Fenster auf der linken Bildschirmseite anordnen' The shortcut name depends on the MacOS system language, e.g.: Further, moving to another monitor has an extra key in the shortcut, while putting the windows in split view is on the same monitor, therefore it has one less key. All you do is use arrow keys differently.

To remember the shortcuts, notice that all they keys, are next to each other. 'Move to LG UltraFine', with shortcut ⌃ ⎇ ⌘ ← 'Move to Built-in Retina Display', with shortcut ⌃ ⎇ ⌘ → Ģ. So other than the one listed above, I have also set the shortcut to move a window to another monitor. Then the other side will turn into a mini-Expose from which you can select the second window using your mouse. Now, you can press your shortcut keys to tile the first window to left or right. You should now have the shortcuts available for any application window that supports tiling. Repeat the same for tiling to left by putting 'Tile Window to Left of Screen' in the 'Menu Title:' and adding your desired keys for left-tiling shortcut.In the 'Keyboard Shortcut:' press the keys you want to use as shortcut for tiling an application window to the right.Better that you copy-paste it because it has to match letter by letter In the 'Menu Title:' type 'Tile Window to Right of Screen'.In the 'Application:' keep it for 'All Applications'.Click on the '+' sign below right pane to add a new shortcut.In this section you can add app specific shortcuts, as well as shortcuts that you want available for all apps.In the left pane, select 'App Shortcuts'.I figured a way to create a shortcut for that from another answer on AskDifferent which I cannot find the link to. Many people commented that they wish there was a shortcut for it. The answer has been taken from website's page. As soon as you place the first window into the Split View panel, the other side of the screen turns into a mini-Expose much like Mission Control, simply click the window tile you want to open into Split View for the other side here to immediately send it side by side into Split Full Screen Mode.When the window shrinks slightly and the background becomes highlighted, you’re about to enter Split View, while continuing to hold the green button drag the active window into either the left or right panel to place it full screen there.Click and hold on the green maximize button of an active window (for example, a Safari window).Apple has provided this functionality as part of its OS X El Capitan.
