How to maximize Window to Left/Right Half Screen?

I was using Ubuntu 12.04, the shortcut Ctrl+Window+Left Arrow/Right Arrow is to move and zoom current window to left and right, now I switch to Fedora 20 and CANNOT find the shortcuts, is there anyone know how to set this hotkey?

For example, the following are the shortcuts in Ubuntu, I want to know the how to make it work in Fedora:

Maximize left/right/fullscreen = Ctrl+WindowsButton+(left/right/up arrow)

Move Window to different workspace = shift+Ctrl+alt+(arrows)

Swich workspace = ctrl+alt+(arrows)

How do you snap a window to the left half of the screen?

To Snap windows to a side or corner via keyboard: Hold the Windows key on your keyboard and tap the left arrow to snap it to the left half of the screen, or right arrow for right half.

How do I maximize two Windows side by side?

Click-and-drag on the top title bar of the first window, so your mouse pointer hits either the left or right side of your screen. Let go of the window when you see the window's outline resize to half of the screen. Choose the other window you want to view on the side of the first window.

This sounds like the "View split on left" and "View split on right" settings in Fedora 20. By default they're set to [windows key] + [left arrow] and [windows key] + [right arrow]. These will move the window to the left or right such that it takes up half the screen.

You can reconfigure the keyboard shortcuts by going into Settings, Keyboard switching to the Shortcuts tab and going under the Windows category.
