Are there any keyboard shortcuts for using El Capitan Split View for Mac?

This question is about Mac El Capitan SplitView

I am a fan of using splitscreen views as in i3 for linux.

Or when I am on Windows I use snapping

With the new feature is there a way to use it without touching the mouse?

So far I've only seen that you can use it by setting it to fullscreen-mode and then use Mission Control for it. new-split-screen

Solution 1:

No shortcuts for Split Screen in El Capitan as far as I am aware.

However ShiftIt (completely free!) is amazing for this! Like just unbelievably brilliant.

Been using it since Mountain Lion.

Can also be installed via HomeBrew:

$ brew cask install ShiftIt

FYI I am in no way associated with this software's development.

Solution 2:

I have found that Spectacle is the way to go!

Solution 3:

It's unfortunate that there aren't keyboard shortcuts for native split screen mode.

However, I use a cheaper program called BetterSnapTool (as of 07/27/2016 is $2.99 USD in the App Store) and it does have keyboard shortcuts.

Solution 4:

It can be done with Spectacle. It's free and serve my need. You can split screen in any direction. You can also configure its shortcuts to do whatever you want.

Solution 5:

There are no keyboard shortcuts to activate this feature of OS X currently. The primary way to activate it is to click and hold down the Green traffic light and select another available window to use in split screen.
