Is there a shortcut to tile windows to left or right side of the screen?

I'm running 12.04 inside VMWare Workstation.

Windows 7 provides a very useful feature: use Windows+Left or Windows+Right to align the current window on the left/right half of the screen (useful for terminal windows on wide-screen, etc).

Is there an equivalent available for Ubuntu?

So far I was able to emulate Windows+Up (maximize window), but can't find anything for left/right alignments.

Just to be clear: I am not talking about "Move to Workspace" or so, I'm talking about resizing the current window on the current screen/workspace to only take the left/right half of the screen.

The same snap feature exists in Ubuntu 12.04, only in Ubuntu you use Ctrl+FLAG+↑/↓/←/→. This only works for Unity 3D though. In Unity 2D you'll still have UP and DOWN, but not LEFT and RIGHT.

With FLAG I mean the flag/Windows/system/super/... key.
