We can't do exactly what you're looking for, but we've uploaded a script to the repository (Settings > Functions > Download Scripted) called "Move a Window Between Monitors and Splits." Make sure to edit the targetMonitor variable at the top of the script to point to the split monitor. For example, if you want it to go to monitor 2, set it to 201. You can then set a hotkey on it, and each time you run it, the window will move to a different split on that monitor.

Hope that helps! ]]> RE: Hotkey Sequence https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#10 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 19:42:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#10 DisplayFusion I think we could probably implement something like this now that we've added Scripted Functions. I'll investigate further and let you know if we're able to whip something up :) ]]> RE: Hotkey Sequence https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#9 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 16:29:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#9 DisplayFusion I was wondering if there has been anymore movement on this? I see a few more hotkey capabilities, but i'm not seeing a hotkey sequences.

Is there anyway to look at all the various features being investigated for future versions? ]]> RE: Hotkey Sequence https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#8 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 18:04:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#8 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks! We'll definitely let you know if we're able to implement any of those :) ]]> RE: Hotkey Sequence https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#7 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 17:05:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#7 DisplayFusion I would put relative monitor functions higher priority than hotkey sequences.

you could make functions
- to keep a window or program on a particular monitor (regardless how many screen this may represent) would be a nice feature.
- move to various splits inside one monitor
- hotkeys can perform unique operations per monitor and/or screen

A split, while is nice as an entirely new screen, is not technically a whole new monitor. Special considerations on their usage should be considered, having custom control for this feature would be ideal to accommodate that. ]]> RE: Hotkey Sequence https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#6 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 16:05:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#6 DisplayFusion There isn't a "relative split" sort of Function at the moment either, but we can also add that to our feature request list :) ]]> RE: Hotkey Sequence https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#5 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 17:45:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#5 DisplayFusion

Just to expand the idea, cause i'm liking it.

Is there a way to provide a relative movement in the functions?
ie, Move to 3rd split in current monitor. (or alternatively 1st horizontal/2nd vertical)

Scenario: 3 monitors (1-no split, 2-4way split, 3-4way split)
instead of having 1-9 hotkeys
you can have 1-3 to get to physical monitor, 1-4 to particular split (or however many anyone wants)

That way a single function performs each operation (move to monitor & move to split monitor), but it would be able to perform the function i need. ]]> RE: Hotkey Sequence https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#4 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 17:17:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#4 DisplayFusion What about Ctrl+Alt+1 through 4?

I prefer the keyboard for navigation as much as possible; it can increases productivity, efficiency, and precision. A lot of programs and tools are going away from easy keyboard navigation.

At work I have 3 monitors and home varies between 2 and 4. In trying to use the split monitor feature I found it difficult to find intuitive ways to use these features and the keyboard. How do others use these features? How about the more keyboard users?

Maybe my current method and thinking isn't the best, but I'll be open to hearing how others manage their workspace with multiple screens. ]]> RE: Hotkey Sequence https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#2 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 16:38:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hotkey-sequence/?ID=dd7776ed-d15e-4eb4-844b-3b10de497fd0#2 DisplayFusion Unfortunately not at the moment, but I can definitely add this to our feature request list.

Currently to swap windows around my 3 screen display i use Alt-F1,F2,F3. This is basically my limit, as AltF4 is used, and anymore the functionality starts to degrade as my hand gets stretched.

I'd like to add the functionality of split monitors to better utilize the widescreen monitors. what i'd like to do is,
Alt-F1 = 1st monitor
Alt-F2 & Alt-F1 = 2.1 monitor
Alt-F2 & Alt-F2 = 2.2 monitor
Alt-F3 = 3 monitor

I can switch to just the numbers instead of function keys, but the problem still exists. Alt-22 would be very simple and intuitive (to me) but i'm unaware if this is possible yet.

Ideas? Solutions? How does others handle a keyboard hotkey for window moving?
Thanks. ]]>
