-<p>Your workflow may require two windows arranged side by side for comparison
- purposes. To fill the screen with two vertically-tiled windows:</p>
-
-<list>
- <item><p>Click on the <gui>title bar</gui> of a window and drag it toward the
- left edge of the screen. When the <gui>mouse pointer</gui> touches the edge,
- the left half of the screen becomes highlighted. Release the mouse button and
- the window will fill the left half of the screen.</p></item>
- <item><p>Drag another window to the right side: when the right half of the
- screen is highlighted, release. Each of the two windows fills half the
- screen.</p></item>
-</list>

- <p>Pressing <key>Alt</key> + click anywhere in a window will allow you to

+<p>You can maximize a window on only the left or right side of the screen,
+allowing you to place two windows side-by-side to quickly switch between
+them.</p>
