In Cinnamon, pressing super+arrow keys (or other similar shortcut) resizes current window into a tile (snaps to grid). How can I customize this grid?
For example I would like to split screen into 3 equal vertical zones so that the window would behave like this:
This and this questions shows how to define shortcuts for putting windows in an aboslute position on the screen. It's nice, but I would prefer to use arrowkey-based shortcuts to move the window around.
I'm using Cinnamon (from Linux Mint), but a generic answer would be most welcome.

I'd like to modify the grid to allow tiling of two windows in a quarter of the screen. Very interested in knowing if this can be done.

This isn't a helpful comment I"m afraid, but I"ve been researching this for some time and I'm pretty sure as of min 18.1 there is no way to do it in cinnamon. You need some other wm tool, I think the best is i3 but it seems like a you give up everything, or a lot in order to have decent windows management. Anyway, good luck.

Cinnamon knows a extension called gtile which provides a enhanced tiling which might be what you are looking for.
Extensions could be installed: open the menue -> Settings -> Extensions
