Hi,

I am working with Gnome Shell on 15.10 and I really love the "view split on left/right" function to make windows take up the whole left/right half of the screen. As I am working with quite a wide screen, I would prefer to use three parts (left, center, right) instead of two halves, however.

I wonder if anyone can advise on how to realise this ...

Thanks!

This can be done in KDE. I'm not sure if it's possible in Gnome, though. I'd guess not if you don't see it in the list of keyboard shortcuts.

Hi eclipticon2.

I don't know a way to this automatically, however if you right-click the maximize button of a window, it would only expand horizontally. I think that would leave you half way there.

Hope it help.
Regards.

P.S.: middle-click on the same button expand a window vertically.

Hi papibe,is this on Gnome 3 Shell? Both do not work for me ...

bummer :/

Unity has shortcuts available for that operation (maximize vertically and horizontally).

Have you look into Gnome keyboard shortcuts?

Just a thought.
Regards.
