  • Also, are you more interested in the functionality or the key combo? What have you already tried? – nohillside Jan 27 '16 at 18:12
  • 13,99 EUR for something which is free on Windows? Seriously? Any other options? Thank you for the answer though. – Michael S. Jan 27 '16 at 18:12
  • I just want to put one window on the left half of my screen and one window on the right half of my screen. – Michael S. Jan 27 '16 at 18:13
  • Any of those free versions recommendable? http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/9659/what-window-management-options-exist-for-os-x/9686#9686 – Michael S. Jan 27 '16 at 18:14

  • Now I only need to know how to put it in "Autostart". I found already the user option in the system preferences but the program is not listed under programs. Where can I find it? – Michael S. Jan 27 '16 at 19:10

On the top left The Green Button for full screen / maximize have three ways: short click -> app goes to full screen, creates a new desktop long click -> app goes half full screen and you can choose from open windows for another half for the screen (that's a new desktop workspace too practically) option+click -> app goes "old style maximize"

If I get your question well, the "long click" is what you are looking for. Only works in El Capitan 10.11, this is new feature. For older versions there were plugins to emulate Aero snap

  • I got 10.11.2. Long-click does not have any function here. I am using Spectacle now. I disabled Spaces btw. because I do not like or need that. Option-Click does the same as Click. – Michael S. Jan 27 '16 at 19:12
  • "I disabled Spaces btw."

    That's why it is not working actually. It needs spaces
