Move window to left/right side of screen

I have a custom shortcut to move a window to the left side of the screen (and another one to the right side) that was broken in previous Mac OS versions and is now broken in Sequoia. In previous versions, I had to spell the entire command when creating the shortcut. So, for example, I have "Move Window to Left Side of Screen" mapped to Control+Command+H. This is no longer working in Sequoia, did the shortcut text change?

MacBook Air, macOS 15.0

I had the same issue. The name of the command changed to just "Left" and "Right", if you're wanting to do custom keyboard shortcuts.


They added default keyboard shortcuts for this window tiling behavior, documented here: Mac window tiling icons & keyboard shortcuts - Apple Support


Although I will add that the "Left" and "Right" default keyboard shortcuts haven't worked for me. Fn-Control-Left and Fn-Control-Right put the scrollbar at the top and bottom, and I haven't been able to determine why. The default for full-screen, Fn-Control-F, does work for me. I work around it by adding a custom keyboard shortcut for Control-Option-Left and -Right to the commands named "Left" and "Right".


Shift-Fn-Control-Left and -Right are a similar but slightly different behavior, and the default shortcuts work for me. I imagine there must be another keyboard shortcut for scrolling that I could find and disable, but I don't know.
