Keyboard Shortcut for Mac - Split windows to half screen.

2. Press F3 or and use Mission Control to pull up another window to the fullscreen window.

Windows and Ubuntu

I found that this always has been really easy on Windows and Ubuntu but since I switched to Mac I found that it wasn not the way I wanted to do it. I still prefer the Windows and Ubuntu way to to do it. Just pressing Windows key + Left arrow (or Right arrow).
