Splitting your screen on a MacBook Pro can greatly enhance your productivity by allowing you to work on multiple applications simultaneously. To split the screen on your Mac, simply follow these steps:
1. Start by opening the two applications that you want to use in split-screen mode. Make sure both applications are active and visible on your desktop.
2. Next, click on the green button located in the top-left corner of the window of one of the applications. This button is known as the “Full-Screen” button, and it’s also used to initiate split-screen mode.
3. After clicking the green button, a menu will appear with options for resizing the window. From this menu, select either “Tile Window to Left of Screen” or “Tile Window to Right of Screen,” depending on where you want the window to be positioned.
4. Once you’ve selected the desired position for the first window, the window will resize accordingly and occupy the designated half of the screen.
5. With the first window now in place, locate the second application that you want to use in split-screen mode. Click on its window to activate it.
6. Drag the second application’s window to the opposite side of the screen where the first window is located. As you drag the window, you’ll notice a translucent outline indicating where the window will be placed once you release the mouse.
7. Once you’ve positioned the second window where you want it, release the mouse to snap the window into place, creating a neat split-screen setup with both applications side by side.
8. You can adjust the size of each window by clicking and dragging the divider line that separates the two windows. This allows you to allocate more space to one application if needed.
9. To exit split-screen mode, simply hover over the green button on either window and click on the “Exit Full Screen” option that appears in the menu.
10. Another way to exit split-screen mode is to press the “Escape” key on your keyboard, which will return both windows to their original positions.
11. By following these steps, you can easily split the screen on your MacBook Pro and enjoy the benefits of multitasking with two applications side by side.
12. Experiment with different combinations of applications to find the setup that works best for your workflow and maximize your efficiency when using your Mac.
