Okay, I just long clicked (5 seconds) on the green button and all it did is maximize the window. Tried long click + drag, didn't work. What am I missing?

- valuearb 10y agoWorks for me, long click, it resizes to left half horizontally, then when I release it fills vertically. On the right side is a collection of my other windows, I tap one and it fills the right side.
- mikeash 10y agoAlas, it's not resizing the windows, but creating some sort of new virtual desktop and sticking them in it.
- valuearb 10y agoThis is true
- brazzledazzle 10y agoThat kind of turned me off buy maybe it's worth giving it another go.

- jonknee 10y agoI was in the same boat and after some Googling I found that you need to have "Displays have separate Spaces" checked in the Mission Control preferences. For some reason it requires you to log-out and back in after activating it, but afterwards I can indeed use split view as described. I don't remember changing this setting, but it's always possible I did years ago. I have never been a big user of Spaces and somehow missed out knowing Split View was ever a thing, but it's actually pretty neat.
