Tiling

Tile by dragging

Move a window with your modifier and push the cursor against a screen edge. A preview shows the target; let go to tile the window there.

Drag to	Result
Left or right edge	Left or right half
A corner	That quarter of the screen
Top edge	Full screen

On a portrait display, the top and bottom edges give you the top and bottom halves instead — far more useful than a narrow left or right strip. Full screen stays one gesture away with a double right-click or ⌃⌥↩.

Turn this off with Snapping & Tiling → Tile by Dragging.

Tile from the keyboard

Every tile position has a shortcut. The arrow keys cover the halves by default:

• ⌃⌥← ⌃⌥→ ⌃⌥↑ ⌃⌥↓ — left, right, top and bottom half
• Press two arrows together, like ⌃⌥← + ↑, for a quarter
• ⌃⌥A ⌃⌥S ⌃⌥D — first, center and last third

Fourths, sixths, ninths (a 3×3 grid) and more are available too — assign them under Window Actions. See Keyboard Shortcuts for the full list.

Tile Size Cycling

Press the same half or quarter shortcut again and the window cycles through sizes: ½ → adaptive → ⅔ → ⅓. The adaptive step only appears when there’s a neighbour to fill up to (see below).

Turn it off with Snapping & Tiling → Tile Size Cycling, and the shortcut always gives you the same size.

Adaptive Tiling

Pro

When a window is already tiled on one side, a new tile expands to fill the space that’s left instead of taking a fixed half. Put a narrow window on the left and tile another to the right: it fills exactly the rest of the screen.

Turn it on or off under Snapping & Tiling → Adaptive Tiling.

Gaps

Leave space between tiled windows and around the edge of the screen.

• Inner Gap — space between windows, from 6 to 14 points.
• Outer Gap — space along the screen edges, from 0 to 14 points.

Turn gaps on under Snapping & Tiling → Gaps. Both start at 8 points, the same margin macOS uses for its own tiled windows. Gaps apply to tiling, layouts and workspaces alike.

Restore the previous position

⌃⌥⌫ toggles a window back to where it was before ClickFit last moved it — and forward again if you press it twice.
