Is the picture you're showing an actual screenshot from your computer? In Finder, the command is "Move Window to Right Side of Screen", not "Tile Window to Right". I believe the wording has to be exact.

Here are some troubleshooting steps and potential solutions you can try to address this matter:


1. Verify System Preferences:

   - First, check if the window snapping feature is enabled in System Preferences. You can do this by going to System Preferences > Mission Control and ensuring that "Displays have separate Spaces" and "Group windows by application" are checked.


2. Check Keyboard Shortcuts:

   - Confirm that the keyboard shortcuts for snapping windows (usually involving combinations of keys like Command + Option + Left Arrow or Right Arrow) are correctly configured in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Mission Control.


3. Restart Finder:

   - Sometimes, restarting the Finder can help with resolving shortcut-related issues. You can do this by pressing Option + Right-click on the Finder icon in the Dock and selecting "Relaunch."


4. Reset SMC and NVRAM:

   - Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) and Non-Volatile Random-Access Memory (NVRAM) on your MacBook Pro might help with restoring system functionalities. Instructions for this can be found on Apple's support page.


5. Third-Party Apps:

   - Check if any third-party apps or utilities you have installed might be overriding the system shortcuts or causing conflicts. Temporarily disabling them can help identify any interference.


6. Run Diagnostics:

   - You can run the built-in Apple Diagnostics on your MacBook Pro to check for any hardware-related issues that might be affecting system functionalities.


7. Software Update:

   - Ensure that your macOS Sonoma is up to date. Updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements that could address usability issues like keyboard shortcuts.


8. Feedback to Apple:

   - If you suspect this could be a bug in the Sonoma operating system, consider providing feedback to Apple through the Feedback Assistant app or reporting the issue on Apple's support page.


By exploring these steps and potential solutions, you may be able to address the keyboard shortcut issue for snapping windows on your MacBook Pro running macOS Sonoma.
