Good afternoon. Been playing with triggers to try and automate some things.
I currently have 3 monitors. 4K center, 2 1080P in Portrait flanking. Not sure if that matters, but just putting it here.
I am trying to set up triggers to do the following:
- Run Full screen game - Monitor 1
- Open app from Start menu/Run Menu/Etc - Open on currently selected monitor
- Any sub windows an app opens, open on the monitor the app is active on.
I can get the second working mostly by using "move to Mouse Cursor monitor" as long as I don't move the mouse before the program starts.
The problem becomes if I start a game and my mouse is on the wrong monitor it'll open on that monitor.
I also can't get the subwindows to always work.
Is there a way to match a program opening "Full Screen" or "Full Screen Window" etc?
If this isn't currenly possible that's fine too.
Thanks

Let me see if I can help you with your items. For #1 that is unfortunately up to the game if it's running fullscreen. Games often have hardware-backed rendering on a specific monitor and can't be moved. For #2 you have the right idea, the "current monitor" is the one where the mouse cursor is. For #3 I would recommend instead of using a trigger on the Settings > Window Management tab enable the "Centre non-overlapping child windows..." option and that should do what you're looking for.

Thanks. I'll give those a go.
For games that misbehave I can set up triggers specifically for them.
Thanks
