Hi PF!

I'm wondering if there is a way to customize the left-right shared screen keyboard shortcut on a Mac? It seems like all I can do is hover over the top-left of the green arrow to do this, no keyboard.

Thanks so much

You know how in Ubuntu you can press control+left arrow to have the screen occupy the left half of the screen (I think Windows is the same)? I'm wondering if there is a way to set Mac hotkeys the same?
