Switch Display with a keyboard shortcut

Switching between displays with a keyboard shortcut is great for workflow!

This feature would be a world first since no tablet company actually offers this.

It's essential when using a tablet instead of a mouse, especially for drag'n'drop operations between monitors!


The XenceLabs Control Panel is really nice but unfortunately, it doesn't expose the ClassNN controls so it's quite difficult to manipulate with scripts.

Maybe XenceLabs could enable a command-line option with switches?

e.g. Xencelabs.exe -screen:FullTabletArea -display:Monitor3


I've managed to implement a basic monitor toggle using AutoHotkey (sorry, it's Windows only. No idea how you'd do this on an Apple).

It uses the F1 key to switch, but you can edit the script in a text editor to whichever key is convenient for you.

Since I'm not able to determine which monitor is currently active in the XenceLabs drivers, the script can only switch between a maximum of two monitors.


Hope it's useful!

Thanks for this! Wonderful!


Also, I agree, please Xencelabs consider implementing command-line switches for apps. 

wacom actually offer this since as long as I can remember, just have to uncheck the second monitor to enable the switching (no cycling) mode between monitors

Yes, that is true, and it is also on the near horizon for Xencelabs. 

could not imagine how far near horizon actually is

This is actually available cross-platform using OpenTabletDriver and the Monitor Toggle plugin.
You'll just have to set set offsets manually.

Really sad that we have to rely on third parties, maybe your devs should ask him :

Tip for those intersted, I had to switch to "Absolute Mode" to make click buttons work.

Thanks for posting that and sending the link. 


I have sent it on to the drive team to review. 


I have been told that in the next driver release for Windows and macOS, there will be a number of customers requested features added to the driver. 


I'm hoping to see the drivers in beta testing in the next month or so.
