Before the release of Windows 11, ChromeOS had, in my opinion, the best – yet simple – approach to native window management<\/strong>. I preferred it to Windows 10’s split screens and MacOS ‘split view, which forced window pairings into full-screen mode. However, all of that changed when Windows 11 introduced Snap Layouts, giving the user more options to arrange applications and windows by hovering over the maximize button.<\/p>\n

Though not an exact replication, ChromeOS is getting one step closer to Windows 11-esque windows management<\/strong>. TO code change<\/strong> was spotted by Chrome Story, and reported on by About Chromebooks, which shows that Google is working on implementing a windows management feature that lets you split windows into thirds<\/strong>. Initially, the new flag in question (# partial-split<\/strong>) was described as “Enable the option to snap windows by thirds for split view,”<\/strong> which can confuse when read at its face value. When I initially read it, I understood it to mean that we could split three windows and have them side by side in equal sizes. However, the most recent code change on this flag from two days ago reworded the description to say, “Enables the option to snap two windows into 2\/3 and 1\/3 for split view.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
