Shortcut to switch panes in Split View on El Capitan

El Capitan (?finally) provides a mechanism called Split View to Have two apps side-by-side in full screen mode.

I want to know if there exists, or how I'd go about implementing, a keyboard shortcut to switch/swap the panes while in Split View.

That is to say that the intended behaviour trigger is to take the left-pane and make it the right-pane and take the right-pane and make it the left-pane.

Here is another partial solution. If you split your screen between two windows of the same program, e.g. Safari, then Cmd+` (backtick) will toggle between the two.

Caveats and Special Cases:

  • If for some reason this does not work, you probably don't have this shortcut enabled. The answer at https://superuser.com/a/187072 explains how to do this.
  • This was tested on High Sierra, but should work just the same on El Capitan, and so on.

When using split view for two terminal windows you can split between them with cmd + left/rigt arrow. I have not figured out a way to switch between windows when using split view with other applications though.

Also, if it is two different applications you can switch between them using cmd + tab

There is no keyboard shortcut for doing what you have stated, but u can just drag the left-pane towards the right side with you mouse on the menu bar.

Hope this helps!
