Bug Description

As Yelp's content isn't up-to-date, please see http://91.189.93.101/shell-windows-tiled.html

To maximize a window along a side of the screen, grab the titlebar and drag it to the left or right side until half of the screen is highlighted. Using the keyboard, hold down the <link xref="windows-key">windows key</link> and press the <key>Left</key> or <key>Right</key> key.

There are two problems here:

1. Keyboard shortcut "windows key" + left/right doesn't work. It requires user to hold Ctrl as well.

2. "Windows key" should be called "Super key".

+and press the <key>Left</key> or <key>Right</key> key.

It's actually the reverse in my case.
The keyboard shortcut "super key" + left/right does work. It doesn't if I press Ctrl as well. Maybe we should add a comment about how it could without the Ctrl, depending of the version ?
