Switch Display with a keyboard shortcut

It would be amazing if we could toggle the monitor display with a keyboard shortcut!

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

It's essential, especially for drag-drop operations between monitors.


On my previous tablets (Wacom/XP-Pen), I could switch displays by using AutoHotkey and assigning a key to manipulate the Control Panel GUI.

Unfortunately, the XenceLabs GUI doesn't have ClassNN controls exposed - I can't get information about how many monitors,  which monitor is currently active or even send keystrokes directly to a control/combo/list box.


I thought about using a HID parser and sending the 'Switch Display' command directly to the tablet drivers but this won't work. Unfortunately, XenceLabs 'Switch Display' function cycles the active monitors... and then activates All Displays! 

There doesn't appear to be a way to disable the 'All Displays' entry from being cycled. Doesn't seem possible to directly switch to a specific monitor.


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

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


I'm running out of ideas - I've got no way of switching monitors without physically pressing a button on the tablet :(

Agreed, would love to see this implemented as well for the Pen Tablet.

I feel really disapointed that such a tiny yet essential feature isn't implemented yet. Sorry guys, but my xence is useless and I switch back to wacom.

Thanks for posting. It might seem tiny, but it requires much rethinking of the UI/design. I had a meeting yesterday, and this was one of the top subjects and it is moving along in development.


There is still no time estimate, but it is in the works.

 

Hi Mike,


any news on implementing the "ability to select the display you want to cycle through" for Pen Tablets? I have a third display that is simply used as an output monitor where I never want to go with my Mouse, but have to cycle through it.


Also are there any improvements coming to Portions? Dragging the rectangle is quite cumbersome and entering pixel values is also not ideal.


Many thanks and all the best

Sam

I check in with the driver team and that is still in the works for later this year. 


I agree with you, that needs to be revamped, and it is in the queue also, for later this year. 

Liquid error: translation data {:other=>"%{count} 人 "} can not be used with :count => 1. key 'one' is missing.
