Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-to-mouse-cursor-monitor-enhancements/?ID=4b68b565-1571-486f-b506-5e767a9f92d4#6 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 19:33:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-to-mouse-cursor-monitor-enhancements/?ID=4b68b565-1571-486f-b506-5e767a9f92d4#6 DisplayFusion Nice, sounds like an excellent script!

There is a slight delay before the trigger fires, due to needing to wait for the window to be fully visible before trying to move it. There's not much we can do about that one. However, I have noticed that Scripted Functions take slightly longer to start than Custom Functions for some reason. I've put that on our list to investigate further

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-to-mouse-cursor-monitor-enhancements/?ID=4b68b565-1571-486f-b506-5e767a9f92d4#5 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 01:13:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-to-mouse-cursor-monitor-enhancements/?ID=4b68b565-1571-486f-b506-5e767a9f92d4#5 DisplayFusion Mine moves the window to the mouse cursor when it is not maximized (just moves monitor for maximized), and the new window is not under the mouse cursor originally, after moving the window to the same monitor as the mouse cursor. Then it moves the window with-in the screen work area. My next enhancement will be to move the window and keep it with-in the screen work area.

I am disappointed in how slow the event is to trigger - I can have a new window open (e.g. Network Status) and move away from the open window fast enough that the event moves the window after it has been sitting. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-to-mouse-cursor-monitor-enhancements/?ID=4b68b565-1571-486f-b506-5e767a9f92d4#4 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 21:09:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-to-mouse-cursor-monitor-enhancements/?ID=4b68b565-1571-486f-b506-5e767a9f92d4#4 DisplayFusion Yeah, for sure! I whipped up a quick sample script to move the window to the mouse cursor, regardless of what monitor it's on, but it doesn't do anything fancy like re-sizing the window if the window would be outside of the monitor bounds. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-to-mouse-cursor-monitor-enhancements/?ID=4b68b565-1571-486f-b506-5e767a9f92d4#3 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 23:27:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-to-mouse-cursor-monitor-enhancements/?ID=4b68b565-1571-486f-b506-5e767a9f92d4#3 DisplayFusion I wrote a scripted function to handle that, but only across monitors (it doesn't move on the same monitor, though that might be nice too).

It is trickier than you may think ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-to-mouse-cursor-monitor-enhancements/?ID=4b68b565-1571-486f-b506-5e767a9f92d4#2 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 20:54:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-to-mouse-cursor-monitor-enhancements/?ID=4b68b565-1571-486f-b506-5e767a9f92d4#2 DisplayFusion Would a Function that moves the window to the mouse cursor be helpful? I can create a Scripted Function that does that ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-to-mouse-cursor-monitor-enhancements/?ID=4b68b565-1571-486f-b506-5e767a9f92d4 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 18:46:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/move-window-to-mouse-cursor-monitor-enhancements/?ID=4b68b565-1571-486f-b506-5e767a9f92d4 DisplayFusion The Move Window to Mouse Cursor Monitor doesn't always do the best thing when the cursor is near the middle of two monitors.

I have a program I use fairly often and when I open a dialog from a menu near the left hand size of my right monitor, it puts the menu and the dialog on the left monitor near the cursor on the right monitor, i.e. on the right hand side of my left monitor. DF then promptly moves the dialog to the right hand side of my right monitor (which has the mouse cursor) as far away as possible from the mouse cursor. This is never what I want to happen.

Perhaps there can be some options to either not move the dialog further away from the mouse cursor when moving it to the new monitor, or moving it both to the new monitor and near the mouse cursor.

I may try to write a trigger, but DF with triggers has been unstable (again) for me. ]]>
