Add a startup split-screen shortcut; since Budgie 26.04 lacks the Shuffer plugin, use this set of shortcuts to enhance user experience.
<keybind bridge="custom1" key="W-e">
<action name="Execute" command="xdg-open ." />
</keybind>
<keybind key="C-W-Up">
<action name="ToggleSnapToEdge" direction="up"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="C-W-Down">
<action name="ToggleSnapToEdge" direction="down"/>
</keybind>
Additionally, create four more groups—top-left, bottom-left, top-right, and bottom-right—as shown below, though I’m unsure how to configure them; none are currently functional.
<keybind key="C-W-Home">
<action name="SnapToRegion" region="top-left"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="C-W-PageUp">
<action name="SnapToRegion" region="top-right"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="C-W-End">
<action name="SnapToRegion" region="bottom-left"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="C-W-PageDown">
<action name="SnapToRegion" region="bottom-right"/>
</keybind>

Just in case you want to include the following rc.xml fix:

**What it does**
The `direction`-values in the `maximize-horizontally` and `maximize-vertically` bindings are invalid. Because of that, labwc does use `both` instead and performs a normal window-maximize. Additionally I like it, if I can press the binding twice and its simply toggling the window-state (so actions were switched to `ToogleMaximize`).
The second thing is change for W-Down from `UnMaximize` to `UnSnap`. I noticed, that once a window is snapped to a side, I can't use W-Down to bring it back to its normal state (pressing the key does nothing). Switching that action to "UnSnap" does work in both situations. It performs _UnMaximize_ and _UnSnap_ at the same time.
I know most things are just personal taste .. hopefully changing those makes sense. But if its kept unchanged, I can live with that as well.

very good,For split screens, use numbers whose sum along horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines equals exactly 15.
//////////////////////// Divide the screen into 9 parts /////////////////////////////
