Description

has-acceptable-solution
Setup keyboards shortcuts

Go to Window Manager -> Keyboard -> Tile window to the x (edit these shortcuts)

Note: These aren't the same convenient keyboard shortcuts from Windows where you can just use the arrow keys to tile on a given side and corner with the same arrow keys. Not sure how to adapt these to that.

Setup drag to screen edge to automatically tile

Go to Window Manager Tweaks -> Accessibility -> Automatically tile windows when moving towards the screen edge

Note: This was already on by default to me but I had to open these settings and toggle for it to actually work.
