Keyboard shortcut for window snapping

Recently migrating from Windows to OS X, I realize there is no keyboard shortcut for window snapping to either left or right. Or, is there one? Are there any third party applications which support this feature?


Thank you.

BetterTouchTool is still free and has most of the snap features, but it will be going to a paid model in a month or 2. But you get a great tool for enhancing your track pad experience, and hotkey mapping thrown in.


Otherwise there are some other snap tools out there. You could Goggle for them.


The only thing El Capitan has is the vertical split screen of 2 windows by picking the first window and doing a click and hold on the green button, then select the 2nd window to share the other half of the screen. Otherwise window snapping is not in the OS X toolbox.
