Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro and 2 external monitors. While working, I frequently run into situations where I have several instances of an application open in different windows and scattered across multiple monitors.
What I am trying to do is create a macro that will focus on all instances of an application and consolidate them to one monitor. Is this possible?
Thanks for your consideration.
You can use the For Each action with the Number Range collection from 1 to WINDOWCOUNT() and the Manipulate a Window action to move the indexed window to center it on the desired screen using the SCREENVISIBLE functions.
Thank you! I will toy with this for a bit.
This looks promising. How would you create a collection of Windows for a specific application?
For my use case, I want to loop through Firefox’s Windows and move them to another monitor.
The link you shared references a collection called “The numbers” which isn’t an option in my collections pulldown menu. My guess is that I need to create a collection somehow.
The Collection is from 1 to Firefox's WINDOWCOUNT(), so that the "For Each" Action moves the Firefox window with the index 1, then the window with the index 2, and so on.
Here's a macro that "cascades" Firefox windows on the primary display. In this case the "For Each" runs backwards so that the backmost window ends up top-left at the back of the cascade and the frontmost is bottom-right and in full view:
