Cool script! Thanks for that.

My way is more manual - I'd drag one window to the left side of the
screen and the other one to the right side. The window manager then
makes it so, that they span the left or right part and meet in the
middle.

For me, that qualifies as " easy enough", buy YMMV, of course :-)
