Dual monitor support

[pavelsg]

Currently it seems to just cycle window through the displays, not the virtual desktops

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#Include VD.ah2

#SingleInstance force
ListLines 0
SendMode "Input"
SetWorkingDir A_ScriptDir
KeyHistory 0
#WinActivateForce

ProcessSetPriority "H"

SetWinDelay -1
SetControlDelay -1

; wrapping / cycle back to first desktop when at the last
^#left::VD.goToRelativeDesktopNum(-1)
^#right::VD.goToRelativeDesktopNum(+1)

; move window to left and follow it
#!left::VD.goToDesktopNum(VD.MoveWindowToRelativeDesktopNum("A", -1))
; move window to right and follow it
#!right::VD.goToDesktopNum(VD.MoveWindowToRelativeDesktopNum("A", 1))

@pavelsg this is weird, because there is no code to cycle window through the displays, can you record a video of the two monitors ? and include which windows version/build you are using ?

(I tested the above code on a two monitor setup set to Extend, and couldn't reproduce this)

@FuPeiJiang my current options for screen recording do not support dual monitor. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Do I need just VD.ah2 in the same directory as a the actual script or it includes some other resources from the repo?

@pavelsg the easiest way would be to use a phone's camera, the harder software way would be to use OBS with a large canvas (I have never tried this)

VD.ah2 is all you need to include, does it work correctly with one monitor ? (if you disable the 2nd monitor in settings) (just to verify)

is it windows 10 or windows 11 that you are using ? (both are supported, but, more info is better)

There you go: https://imgur.com/a/SDV8bHs
It's Windows 11

@pavelsg Thanks for recording this, I see that the window is resized to fit the different monitor resolutions

Can you test and confirm if it works with a single monitor ?

You are using Windows 11, but what is its build number ? I tested mine on (OS Build 22631.2715)

if you've tested that it indeed works on a single monitor, but doesn't on multiple monitors
, As a last resort, do these projects work ?

@pavelsg ok, I got this behavior by pressing Windows + Shift + Left Arrow
or Windows + Shift + Right Arrow

#!left corresponds to Windows + Alt + Left Arrow
can you change these hotkeys to F1 and F2 respectively and test if they work ?

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#Include VD.ah2

#SingleInstance force
ListLines 0
SendMode "Input"
SetWorkingDir A_ScriptDir
KeyHistory 0
#WinActivateForce

ProcessSetPriority "H"

SetWinDelay -1
SetControlDelay -1

; wrapping / cycle back to first desktop when at the last
f1::VD.goToRelativeDesktopNum(-1)
f2::VD.goToRelativeDesktopNum(+1)

; move window to left and follow it
f3::VD.goToDesktopNum(VD.MoveWindowToRelativeDesktopNum("A", -1))
; move window to right and follow it
f4::VD.goToDesktopNum(VD.MoveWindowToRelativeDesktopNum("A", 1))

I knew I was doing something wrong! Thanks mate, somehow I misread AHK modifiers.
