That's not something we support, but you could create a custom function that sets the window to that width/height manually, and then attach a hotkey to run it. We have a guide on creating custom functions here: https://www.displayfusion.com/HelpGuide/CustomFunctions/

We refer to them as monitor splits :)


thanks for the pointer, Owen. I was thinking a custom function was the way I'd have to go but the fiddling I did wasn't successful so I came here and asked. I'll follow the guide and see if I do better this time! ]]> RE: is there a way to make your split monitor so each side overlaps? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-there-a-way-to-make-your-split-monitor-so-each-side-overlaps/?ID=0190fa5c-9dc6-7564-8402-faa35c9eeff6#2 Mon, 29 Jul 2024 17:21:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-there-a-way-to-make-your-split-monitor-so-each-side-overlaps/?ID=0190fa5c-9dc6-7564-8402-faa35c9eeff6#2 DisplayFusion That's not something we support, but you could create a custom function that sets the window to that width/height manually, and then attach a hotkey to run it.

I do a lot of copy / paste so I'm wondering if I can set it up 2.1 and 2.2 maximize to 70% of the 24" display when it's my active window. because I am adjusting and doing this manually, I already know the remaining 30% for the other virtual* display is big enough to let me do what I need to do.

* when you break one display into multiple displays, what do you refer to them as? virtual or as an actual monitor or something else? ]]>
