Until now, Windows has always offered better split-screen multitasking and window management features than Mac.
Mac tried with Stage Manager, but it’s not the same thing.
Let’s get into it.
Installing the macOS Sequoia Beta
Before we start, let’s implement the macOS Sequoia beta.
I recommend using a backup gear for this if possible, as using a beta risks instability.
Start by backing up your Mac.
Then openSystem tweaks, navigate toGeneral>Software Updateand clickBeta updates.
pick the latest macOS Sequoia developer beta, then follow the instructions to install it.
Tiling windows on macOS using mouse gestures
macOS Sequoia supports tiling windows using a mouse gesture.
When you drag a window to any edge of your screen, you’ll notice a white outline.
Release the cursor and the window will snap to fill out the outline.
This is one of those weird Apple design touches, but it can be disabled.
Go toSystem prefs>Desktop and Dock>Windowsand disable theTiled windows have marginfeature.
Hover over thegreen stoplight iconin the top left of any window to see new arrangement options.
Click one of the options and macOS will automatically take your foreground windows and arrange them in that pattern.
This, sadly, is all it can do.
Plus, the process is automatic.
This feature isn’t available on macOS, and I hope it gets added in a future update.
It now lives in theFull Screensection in the green stoplight menu.
Most of the time, you’re going to be splitting the screen into two anyway.
it’s possible for you to also use keyboard shortcuts to automatically arrange two windows.
UseGlobe+Control+Shift+Leftto dock the current window to the left, and the next available window to the right.
This also works with the Up and Down keyboard combination.
To see all available keyboard shortcuts, go toWindow>Move & Resizefrom the menu bar.
