    <desc>Maximize two windows side-by-side.</desc>
  </info>


<title>Tile windows</title>

  <p>You can maximize a window on only the left or right side of the screen,
  allowing you to place two windows side-by-side to quickly switch between
  them.</p>

  <p>To maximize a window along a side of the screen, grab the titlebar and
  drag it to the left or right side until half of the screen is highlighted.
  Using the keyboard, hold down <key xref="keyboard-key-super">Super</key> and
  press the <key>Left</key> or <key>Right</key> key.</p>

  <p>To restore a window to its original size, drag it away from the side of
  the screen, or use the same keyboard shortcut you used to maximize.</p>

  <note style="tip">
    <p>Hold down the <key>Alt</key> key and drag anywhere in a window to move
    it.</p>
