No such feature on OS X.
Thank you for the info, but I didn't get an answer back in March that helped and ended up returning my Mac. I didn't have the time to learn how to do all the shortcuts that came naturally to me from my PC experience of 15+ years. Switching to the Mac was cutting into my billable hours and was incredibly frustrating. I have completely left all my Apple products including my iPhone in the past. And am now more efficient and have money back in the bank after purchasing my Sony Vaio and Samsung Galaxy 4S.
Thank you, Andrew, for actually giving a solution instead of just complaining about Mac like all the other posters.
It's obvious OP has no business buying a mac just like all the other people complaining. It's not for people unwilling to learn new things. If all you wanna do is check your email and watch youtube, get a dell. It's ridiculous apple still even sells you computers with you buying them and taking them back so often.
I mean, you have been using windows for years, of course there is a learning curve and of course it's not gonna have the same features... If you want windows use windows! ffs
Thx!
haha, just came across this. This is one of the sillier things I've read on here. prob for the best she stick with windows 🙂
I use Windows, Linux with many window managers, and Mac OS X, and I've been using them a long time. Mac OS X is the ONLY one that lacks this feature right now. You might think this is silly, but there are many workflows, especially involving text editing like software development where any switch from keyboard to mouse adds uncomfortable strain to the neck. Any vim or emacs user should be able to relate. If you mostly just browse or use graphical tools then of course this would seem silly, but the are people with completely different workflows then you. I mean really how un-empathic are you?
If you guys are looking for a free alternative for Window management look up an APP called Spectacle, I have been using it for a while and LOVE it!

Now free for limited time.I downloaded it, pretty easy and handy.
BetterSnap tool on the Mac App Store is like the feature on windows but it is on Steroids! I have been using it for a couple of months and love it and had all my friends and family get it. It's a $1.99 but well worth it. You can split your screen in so many ways, its incredible. You can also assign hotkeys. I have Option right and left arrows for the vertical split and option up and down arrows for horizontal split. You can also do corners, thirds and so many more. It slices, dices and chops. Get yours today. lol
You can use OSX El Captain. Just hold the green "Fullscreen" Button and drag to a side. Then, do the same to the other window. You then have a split-screen.
