Spit View for efficient work
It would be a shame not to use the Split View feature on the Mac. This useful display mode allows you to work in two application windows side by side. To launch Split View mode within Mission Control first activate Mission Control and then drag the first of the apps to the empty desktop. Then drag the second desired application onto the same desktop.
