Change Functions when Monitor Profile changes

I use Display Fusion on my laptop and have a few locations with docking stations and various multiple monitor configurations. I have these configured as Monitor Profiles, and switching works well.

I also use Functions on the TitleBar to send windows to different monitors. My issue is that the monitor locations and numbers vary depending on docking location, so my home office has 4 monitors while my work office only has 2. Since I have functions for send to monitors 1, 2, 3, and 4 for home, these do not translate to my work configuration. At work, the send to buttons work, but are in the wrong order and numbering, with 3 and 4 being mapped to the two monitors and in reverse order.

Is it possible to have the TitleBar functions change when a Monitor Profile is changed?

Thanks, great product!

Glad to hear you like DisplayFusion! It's sort of possible, but you'd need to create Scripted Functions. I've attached an example Scripted Function that will move the window to Monitor 4 if the "Office (4 Monitors)" profile is detected, and Monitor 2 if the "Home (2 Monitors)" profile is detected.

If you add a new Scripted Function, paste in that code (make sure to change the Monitor Profile names to match yours), then save it, you can then add it as a TitleBar Button the same way you would with any other built-in or custom Function

Hope that helps!
