How to Use Window Tiling in macOS Sequoia
Using the window tiling feature is straightforward. Here’s a quick guide:
Snapping Windows:
Drag and Snap: Click and hold the title bar of your app or window. Drag it towards the direction you want to snap it (left, right, top, or bottom). You'll see a preview of the snap before releasing the mouse button. Quarter Snapping: To snap a window to a quarter of the screen, drag it to a corner (top left, top right, bottom left, or bottom right). Enhanced Snapping with Option Key:
Press and hold the Option key while dragging and snapping a window. This gives you a more precise preview, allowing for a smoother snapping experience. Using Menu Options for Tiling:
Go to the top menu bar, click on Window, then select Move and Size. Here, you can choose the direction (left, right, top, bottom) or the quarter of the screen where you want to snap your window. Managing Multiple Apps:
If you have multiple apps open and want to arrange them quickly, use the Quarters option to place four apps in each corner of your screen. Eliminating Gaps Between Windows One noticeable difference in macOS Sequoia's window snapping compared to Windows is the presence of gaps between snapped windows. If you prefer a seamless layout without gaps, follow these steps:
Click on the Apple icon and go to System Settings. Navigate to Desktop & Dock and scroll down to the Windows section. In the Window Snapping Group, turn off the Tile Windows Have Margins option. By disabling this feature, you can maximize your screen space without any wasted areas.
