Entering Split View on Mac using the green full-screen button is a simple process that allows you to quickly set up two apps side by side. Here's how to do it:

• Open the first application you want to use in Split View

• Hover over the green full-screen button in the upper-left corner of the app window

• Select "Tile Window to Left of Screen" or "Tile Window to Right of Screen" from the menu12

• The other half of your screen will display thumbnails of other open app windows that support Split View

• Click on the second app you want to use side by side to complete the Split View setup12

This method provides a quick and intuitive way to organize your workspace for improved multitasking and productivity on your Mac.

Mission Control offers an alternative method to enter Split View on Mac, providing a visual overview of all open windows and spaces. Here's how to use Mission Control to set up Split View:

1. Activate Mission Control:

   • Press Control + Up Arrow on the keyboard

   • Or swipe up with three or four fingers on the trackpad12

2. Drag and Drop:

   • Locate the window you want to use in Split View

   • Drag it onto the thumbnail of a full-screen app in the Spaces bar at the top of the screen1

3. Enter Split View:

   • Click the newly created Split View thumbnail in the Spaces bar1

This method is particularly useful when you have multiple windows open and want a broader view of your workspace before setting up Split View. It allows for more flexibility in choosing which apps to combine in Split View mode.

Mac offers several keyboard shortcuts to efficiently manage Split View and multitasking. Here's a quick overview of the most useful shortcuts for splitting your screen:

While there's no built-in shortcut specifically for Split View, you can create custom shortcuts. For example, you can set up a shortcut for "Tile Window to Left of Screen" in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts 3. Third-party apps like Rectangle offer additional shortcuts for window management, such as Command + Option + Left Arrow to move a window to the left half of the screen 3.
