DigiTip 5: Split your screen and multitask πŸ’»

Are you working on one screen and struggling? Are you tired of swapping between two windows? 

Did you know that you can split your screen to view two things at once making it much easier to view two windows at the same time. This means that you can work on documents, tabs and much more side-by-side.  

  • On your keyboard, to the left-hand side of the space bar there is the Windows button. 
  • Hold the windows button and then tap any arrow key you would like. For example, hold the windows key and then tap the left arrow key.  
  • This will move your document to the left-hand side of your screen.  
  • You will be shown all the open windows you have to fill the remainder of the screen. Simply select which window you would like to open.  

Please note, these instructions are for Windows PC only. If you are working on a Mac, please view split screen instructions here: Use two Mac apps side by side in Split View – Apple Support (UK)
