I love Split View on iPadOS and on my Mac. That press-and-hold on the green button to pick the left or right side of the screen, then select from the remaining open apps to put on the other side of the screen, was my go-to multitasking secret weapon. I went to do that today and found itâs been replaced by a function that just resizes the windows to take up half the screen.
But Iâm not holding option down. I even went to check if something was pressing on the option key on my bluetooth keyboard in the other room. Hovering is giving me the âmoveâ commands. Holding option down now changes âenter full screenâ to âzoom.â
Are you running any other apps that intercept that menu? I run Moom, but when I quit it the options I get are what I expect - âTile Window to Left of Screenâ and âTile Window to Right of Screenâ, each of which puts me into Split View.
And when Moom is running, holding Command gives me those options.
Although if this is huge for your workflow, and what you do is more like âcertain workspacesâ rather than âtiling arbitrary windows in split viewâ, Moom might be a useful third-party tool to handle some of this stuff for you. The free version gives you a certain number of uses rather than a time-limited trial, so you get plenty of time to figure out whether it suits your purposes or not.
Good suggestion! Unfortunately it didnât work. And I donât use any windowing software like Moom. Iâll look into Moom, though I like the fact that I had nothing underneath my windows when in split-screen/full-screen. It could be something with the macOS 11.4 beta. Thanks for everyoneâs help.
Sorry to hear that. Hope itâs a beta thing that get fixed soon
The strange thing is that id doesnât change the other two menu elements⌠if something inverted the behaviour should have inverted for all three elements, not only oneâŚ
Figured it out. Posting the answer here in case anyone else has the same problem. Or if you want to have âmove windowâ be the default. Need to have âDisplays have separate Spacesâ checked in Mission Control in order for the âTile windowsâ option to appear as default.
For another point of view; I hate how Apple have implemented Split View and Full Screen view. I welcome this function, however I use Better Snap Tool to do the same (and some more).
I think you are in the majority and Iâm in the minority here. However, Iâve gotten used to Appleâs way and like the fact that there are no other windows underneath what Iâm looking at. I always feel like I have to go digging. Swiping up on the trackpad makes quick work of that though.
