I work with three monitors. I find that I don't just move a window to different monitor (usually using caption buttons), but I move all the windows on that monitor to the other monitor. Just to complicate matters, I usually want to swap all the windows from one monitor with those on the target monitor. (I have portrait and landscape monitors...)

It's a suggestion.

The interesting thing is if there are two monitors, you just need a swap button/key. If it is three or more, you need to ask for the target monitor after issuing the command.

Happy coding, and keep up the excellent work!

I have two monitors - one is a standing desk the other is a sitting desk. I like to switch between the two desks and this would be a great feature for me to easily be able to switch between my two desks. Currently I have to go to each window and click the "move to other monitor" button at the top.

Hi,

Is there an update on the feature that was originally requested in this thread?

Thanks!

Good afternoon,

Has there been any progress on implementing this feature? That is, the ability in one hot-key to swap the active window on each of two monitors to the other monitor? There are multiple times a day when I could use this feature. I saw a couple other postings related to this feature request but thought it would be more considerate to reply to an already-active thread.

Also, is there a way to have this implemented via the new custom scripts feature? If so, is anyone willing to code it for us?

Sincerely,
Charlie77

Hi Keith,

I, and I'm sure others, will most greatly appreciate your folks' efforts.

Most sincerely,

Hi Keith,

Any luck on the programming of this hopefully not-too-troublesome script?

Thank you,
Charlie

Thanks for working hard on this. Look forward to hopefully being able to download this script soon.

Regards,
Charlie

Hi Keith,

I see Thomas Malloch created the script "Swap All Windows Between Two Monitors", which somewhat accomplishes the Feature Request of this thread (it swaps all windows from one monitor to the next, instead of just the active window). But there is one other overall issue and I'm not sure if this question should be directed to you or Thomas:

Every time the script is executed it queries the user to select a "first" and then a "second" monitor. This query takes a lot of time every instance the script is executed and is unnecessary I believe for users running only two monitors. Is there anyway to bypass this / set the script to a default setting so it does not require a user to input the same information every time the script is executed?

Thanks very much,
Charlie

Hi Keith,

So is there still no way to swap/move only the single top window on each monitor to the other monitor with one keystroke? (on a two-monitor setup)

Thanks,
Charlie

Hi Keith,

This sounds exciting, but there is an issue with the new beta 7.2: It doesn't allow me to set a key combination for the new script -- see the attached image. After I select the modifier ("shift" in this case) and enter "S", the dialogue does not disappear and accept the key combination as it used to in v7.1 (you'll also note the sizing of the window is incorrect).

As a side, in the download script window, can you make the column headers clickable so that one can organize the scripts by "last modified" or "name", etc? This will allow users to see the latest added scripts easily.

Thanks very much,
Charlie

Hi Keith,

If what you're asking is what I think it is, its set to "Medium - 125%" on Win7.

Charlie

Running 7.2 beta 6 on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 and also on a separate machine running Windows 8.1
Only just bought the software so apologies if I'm asking noob questions.

I can run this script. I get the little popup saying it's running, but it doesn't behave right.
On my Windows 7 machine, none of the windows move.
On my Windows 8 machine, only some move. Putty will move every time. Firefox, Pidgin and Thunderbird only sometimes move, and not all at the same time, so it's pretty much random where the windows will end up.

I would really like this script to work, as my employer bought the cheapest possible dual-monitor KVM and it causes a bug that when switching between computers all the open windows swap sides.

2 monitors. I want to swap all windows, not just topmost.

That is almost perfect. On my work computer it will actually be perfect.

Any idea how I might exclude one specific app from this function. For some reason the window-swap bug I have doesn't include Rainmeter when it swaps windows. I have no idea why other than it's not doing windows in the traditional sense, but instead putting gauges onto the desktop.

It is. I just couldn't figure out how to get a process name from a window handle.

Didn't work, but gave me enough info to make it work. Ended up with

if (processPath != "C:\\Program Files\\Rainmeter\\Rainmeter.exe")

I have no idea why processPath.Contains didn't work. It should do in theory, but I'm not really familiar with C#

All this because work bought the cheapest KVM, *sigh*
Thank you for your help though. DisplayFusion saves the day, even if it really shouldn't have to

Spoke too soon.

It works once, then never works again until a reboot, and also prevents being able to launch displayfusion settings.

If you run it from the script editor, it works every time.

Systray icon never appears.

That said, I've disabled the Windows taskbar in favour of the displayfusion one.

Sorry it took so long to reply.

Here's the log. I tried to run the script at 19:00 BST

The only way I can get the script to run is from the settings editor.

I wonder if it's just not being started when I run it from the jump list (I use the DF taskbar on both monitors, with the Windows one hidden). Once I'm at my home PC I'll give it another go.
