separate desktop switch for separate displays

Postby Guest » 10.10.2011 11:10:39

If you have multiple displays it would be nice if you could switch the desktop for each display individually (instead of all). For example if you have display 1 and 2, it would be nice if you could switch just the desk on display 1 but not on display 2 (which would remain as it was).

With a hotkey to switch next/prev for the display that the pointer is on.

version 1.6 Beta can exclude monitors from desktop switch. It doesn't offer a way to make virtual desktops monitor-specific though.

no, not monitor specific, rather a bit like running two dexpots, one per display so that you can switch the vdesk on each display separately, kinda like a combination lock dial where you can turn each digit separately.

"Select which monitors should be affected by desktop switching. Windows placed on monitors excluded from switching will remain visible on all desktops."

... which is not what I meant. What I meant was if you have displays X Y Z and vdesks 1 2, that you can cycle through the portions visible on each display separately:

currently:
X1 Y1 Z1 -> switch -> X2 Y2 Z2

proposed:
X1 Y1 Z1 -> switch X only -> X2 Y1 Z1

X2 Y1 Z1 -> switch Z -> X2 Y1 Z2 -> switch X -> X1 Y1 Z2 -> switch Y -> X1 Y2 Z2
