If your mouse has software that will allow you to customize the middle-click behaviour, then you should be able to just bind it to whatever hotkey you've set for that function in DisplayFusion. DisplayFusion itself can't take over the middle-click behaviour though.<br/>
<br/>
And yes, you can set the key combinations to whatever you like, as long as they're not already in use by Windows, or another program on your system <img src="https://www.displayfusion.com/MediaCommon/SVGs/FontAwesome/face-smile.light.svg" alt=":)" style="box-sizing:border-box;position:relative;overflow:hidden;vertical-align:middle !important;width:16px;height:16px;" HelpButtonData=":)" HelpButtonDataAlign="BelowMiddle" />

Thank you very much for the response it was extremely helpful.<br/>
<br/>
I am glad to hear it will put taskbars on both monitors in which case I do not even need to bother switching them off an on and primaries because I will lock the mouse onto whichever is on. However I forgot to ask if you can bind all these different hotkeys to anything? I was going to do the mouse lock to my mouse wheel click due to how I'll be using it every few minutes while I am in a game to lock and unlock so I can use both screens, but for the swapping primary displays hotkeys can I make them something fairly random so I dont take up hotkeys I would nornally use? Like shift+5+q, for example.

Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I have a second monitor on the way and after many reviews I feel that Display Fusion is the perfect piece of software for what I am looking to do. I will be using it to play a game on 1 monitor and have internet open on another while easily being able to hotkey lock/unlock the mouse. My question, however, comes from the fact I will be using 1 of the monitors as my primary monitor for FPS PC Gaming, but the other will be for MMO's (IPS for better color and don't need the response time). Can I set up both screens with bars for shut down and such so that either can be used as a primary screen? Also I will be using the IPS monitor for console gaming, the monitor will be on obviously, I don't want to deal with constantly turning things off and on so can I have that "second" window open without knowing its there?<br/>
<br/>
Thanks in advance.
