For
many
a
year,
Windows
users
have
been
dragging
their
program
windows
over
to
the
borders
of
the
screen
to
snap
them
into
position,
splitting
the
screen
up
evenly
into
halves
or
quarters.
Now,
with
the
rollout
of
macOS
Sequoia,
Mac
users
can
do
the
same.
You
can
get
a
Spotify
playlist
up
alongside
your
email
inbox,
for
example,
or
a
report
you’re
writing
up
alongside
the
online
articles
you’re
reporting
on.
It
means
less
switching
between
windows
and
more
information
on
the
screen.
Once
you’ve
got
macOS
Sequoia
installed
on
your
Mac,
you
can
take
advantage
of
what
Apple
calls
window
tiling.
There
are
several
methods
you
can
use.

your
apps
into
position
with

tiling.Screenshot:

Alternatively,
you
can
click
and
drag
an
open
window
into
position
to
tile
it.
The
third
method
for
window
tiling
is
via
the
Window
drop-down
menu
in
whatever
app
you’re
using.
You
can
also
create
tiles
via
your
app’s
Window
drop-down
menu.Screenshot:

If
you
want
to
keep
your
fingers
on
the
keyboard,
keyboard
shortcuts
are
supported
as
well.
(Note:
unfortunately,
there
aren’t
any
specific
keyboard
shortcuts
for
moving
windows
into
the
quarter
sections
of
the
screen.)
Here’s
the
list
for
controlling
individual
windows:
There
are
also
shortcuts
for
moving
the
active
window
and
arranging
other
windows
to
match:
macOS
gives
you
a
few
ways
to
customize
your
tiling
settings.Screenshot:

You
can
customize
a
few
aspects
of
window
tiling
using
System
Settings
on
the
Apple
menu.
Choose
Desktop
&
Dock
to
find
them.
You
can
turn
drag-to-tile
and
the
Option
key
shortcut
on
or
off
and
choose
whether
tiled
windows
have
margins
between
them.
Several
third-party
tools
have
previously
filled
the
feature
gap
when
it
comes
to
window
tiling,
and
generally
speaking,
they
give
you
more
options
and
more
control
than
macOS
Sequoia
does,
at
least
for
now
—
they’re
not
completely
Sherlocked
yet.
I
can
only
speak
firsthand
about
two
that
I’ve
personally
used.
One
is
Magnet,
which
will
set
you
back
$9.99
but
is
very
much
worth
it,
especially
if
you
use
a
larger
display.
You
can
divide
the
screen
up
by
thirds
and
sixths
as
well
as
halves
and
quarters
and
set
up
trigger
areas
for
dragging
and
custom
keyboard
shortcuts.
The
other
is
Rectangle;
the
basic
version
is
free,
but
if
you
pay
$9.99
for
the
Pro
version,
you
can
customize
snap
areas
and
keyboard
shortcuts,
set
up
specific
layouts
for
specific
apps,
and
pin
certain
program
windows
into
position.
It’s
packed
with
every
feature
you
could
possibly
want,
though
I
think
Magnet
is
a
little
more
intuitive
to
use.
