Description

### Setup keyboards shortcuts

Go to **Window Manager** -> **Keyboard** -> **Tile window to the x** (edit these shortcuts)

Note: These aren't the same convenient keyboard shortcuts from Windows where you can just use the arrow keys to tile on a given side and corner with the same arrow keys. Not sure how to adapt these to that.

### Setup drag to screen edge to automatically tile

Go to **Window Manager Tweaks** -> **Accessibility** -> **Automatically tile windows when moving towards the screen edge**

Note: This was already on by default to me but I had to open these settings and toggle for it to actually work.
