Hi! Quick question about setting window positions with DisplayFusion. I'm using it on an ultrawide monitor, so I've set a rule that snaps the windows into thirds instead of just half, and it was fantastic and easy and took probably 4 minutes in total. I would like to be able to do this without losing "corner snapping" functionality though, in total that would be 9 positions; full, top, bottom, in left, center, right. A bit unweildly to have separate hotkeys for,

As far as I can tell, theres no way to create a custom function that preserves X position, and changes y position. Apparently only one main key can be used, (so no ALT+C+UP), So I'm going to dive into scripting

I guess my question is; Is there an argument to change only Y position? Or should I enter all 9 positions, and basically have it say "If Left, cycle through LeftTop, LeftCentre, LeftBottom"

Any insights as to how to go about this?

You could create a script that does this, for sure. If you want to only change the Y position, you just need to get the current X position, then use that as the X value in the function, like this:

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
{
// set the X value to the current value
int windowX = BFS.Window.GetBounds(windowHandle).X;

// set the Y value to whatever you'd like it to be
int windowY = 400;

// move the window
BFS.Window.SetLocation(windowHandle, windowX, windowY);
}
}

Hope that helps!
