On my machines, I have the following key bindings set up:

You can run this set of commands in your command line (CAUTION: this will overwrite existing keybindings for the named commands!), and afterwards will be able to "tile" your current screen using <code><Alt><Shift>(Down|Left|Up|Right)</code>. Feel free to customize the settings to your needs :)
