Is it possible to span an application across only certain monitors (as opposed to all)?
I ask because I have three monitors, all three are the same display size physically, but two are 2560x1440 and one is 1920x1080. I was hoping to be able to set it up so that I can span an application across specific monitors (in my case, 2 and 3).
Cheers

I'm still hoping for it!
Hi Kris, you can achieve what you're looking for right now using a custom function. If you use the "Create Function" button, set your function using these parameters:
Action: manage window
Screen: Move window to monitor #X (select the left-side of your 2 spanned monitors)
Alignment: Move to top-left corner
Width: Pixels (set to 3840 or whatever the width is for your 2 spanned monitors)
Height: Pixels (set to 1080)
When you use this function it should move the window to the top-left corner of your spanned monitors, then size the window to cover both of them. If you have any issues setting this up just let me know. Thanks!

Thanks Jon, great suggestion, works a treat!
I ended up using:
Move window to monitor #X
Move window to top left corner of monitor
Change window width to specified percentage (200)
Change window height to specified percentage (100)
You can use specified pixel size, but this way seemed to work better in terms of accounting for the taskbar location automatically (for me at least).
I'm using it to span 2x27 (2560x1440's) and ignore 1x27 (1920x1080).
