Are there keyboard shortcuts for the split screen functionality (tile window to left/right of screen)?

On windows you can hit WinKey + LeftArrow (or WinKey + RightArrow) to tile windows to the left/right of screen.

On Mac, the green fullscreen button provides a similar functionality, but I wonder if there's a keyboard shortcut for this?

Thanks Barney-15E, but looks like you can only create keyboard shortcuts for menu commands.

The split screen functionality is an OS feature that's available on every window (by hovering over or clicking and holding the green fullscreen button).

It's not exposed as a menu command, so it appears there's no way to add this as a keyboard shortcut.
