Hi,

I have a 50″ screen divided into 4 (2*2) 24″ sections. Depending on the app, their windows are sent to one of these 4 sections, which works very well.

I just had the idea to get a better and more user friendly view to the window focussed (on top):

Is it possible to add a 24″ section to the lower part of the screen, so that I would have this section in the middle of the lower part:

old setup:
_______________
|.....1.....|.....2.....|
|_______|_______|
|.....3.....|.....4.....|
|_______|_______|

planned setup (hope it’s understandable):
_______________
|.....1.....|.....2....|
|_______|_______|
|...3..|...5...|..4...|
|___|___|___|___|

3 and 4 would still stretch to the middle of the screen as they are 24″.

Now, when I focus a window, I want it to move to 5 (having it in the very middle of sight height) and when I focus another window, this window will be moved back to the sections 1 to 4 (where it was before focus) and the newly focussed window will be moved to 5.

This would help a lot in production as right now, the main working section is 4 as it’s easier to move head slightly to the right all the time but this of course puts some strains on posture.

Best regards,
Pascal

There isn't a way to automate that, no. I would recommend creating custom functions on the Settings > Functions tab for the positions that you want, and then assign key combinations to them to make it easy to swap between them.

Thanks!

Can I do some overlapping splits with DF like it is possible within Fancy Zones to emulate the above mentionned 5 splits?
Or does DF recognize the splits from FZ so I could just use functions per app window to say, if focus move to 5, if focus lost move to x?

Edit: Okay, I was thinking about automated Triggers, not Functions, but I just see that there is an option missing for this use case. You have 'Window Focused' but no negating option like 'Window loses Focus'. Would it be possible to add that option?

You can do overlapping splits if you disable the "Auto-Fill All Splits" button in the splits configuration window.

There's no "Focus Lost" trigger event because Windows doesn't send out a system-wide message when a window loses focus.

There must be some kind of lost focus check as DF uses it for one of their inbuilt features:

Taskbar > Show taskbar in fron of full screen applications when they lose focus

There's no hook message for lost focus, we use polling for that. We could maybe use polling for a trigger but normally we only have triggers fired on hook messages. I will add your vote to an open feature request for a "focus lost" trigger.
