Shortcut to switch panes in Split View on El Capitan

Question

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.

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

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.
