Hi there

I'd like to know if is there a possibility to swap simultaneous the 2 windows on my 2 screens (A to B and B to A) ? with only one action?

Thanks a lot

There are a couple of Scripted Functions that should be able to do this

On the DisplayFusion Settings > Functions tab, click the "Download Scripted" button
Double-click the script named "Swap All Windows Between Two Monitors" (or "Swap Topmost Windows on Monitors 1 and 2")
Give it a key combination and click OK
Optionally, select it, click "Toggle TitleBar Button" (to add it to the caption bar of every application)
Click Apply and test it out

Hope that helps!

Hi Keith

Sorry that doesn't work. Only one windows is swapped on the other screen... or DF asks me what window I want to move, and in what screen...

An other question now

In Windows 10, do you know how to send a window directly in an other desktop with DF?

Thank you

That's the intended behaviour of those two scripts:

"Swap All Windows Between Two Monitors" will ask you which monitors you want to swap the windows between (in case you have more than 2 monitors). So if you want to swap all windows between monitor 1 and 2, select monitor 1, then select monitor 2, and DF will swap all of the windows on those two monitors.
"Swap Topmost Windows on Monitors 1 and 2" will only swap the two windows on the top of monitor 1 and 2.

Unfortunately DF can't manipulate windows on virtual desktops directly at the moment. We're hoping to add support for them at some point though

Thank you Keith, In fact all is working now! Really good!

I guess there will be a lot of development for you, to include the virtual desktops deeply with DF. I was thinking about the possibilities to load directly many environments at the starter of Windows, etc... Good luck
