Title: How to change monitor position to a software in multiple monitor rig?
Post by: cecofuli on 2019-02-01, 01:19:33: Hello...

I have a small, funny problem to solve

#1. I have multiple monitor setup as almost everybody here.
#2. I work with the main monitor with 3ds Max and, for example, on second monitor Photoshop.
#3. If, for some reason, the second monitor is off and I turn on Photoshop, it will be on the second monitor, of course.
#4. So, if I want to see Photoshop on the main monitor, I need to turn on the second monitor, move Photoshop on the first monitor and turn off the second monitor.
#5. I tried to find some software to help me to avoid this "long procedure", but I didn't find nothing interesting.

How did you solve this problem?

Thanks ^__^

- Set focus to application (here: PS) by clicking on the taksbar icon or ALT-Tab to it
- press ALT+SPACE to summon the window menu (you cannot see it but it does pop up)
- press cursor down twice, then return. Move mode is activated for the application now
- use cursor right (or left) to move the window to your active display until you can grab it

Good Luck
