Looking for a script to switch control between dual screens

floridafraze · Post by **floridafraze** » Tue Aug 08, 2006 4:28 pm

Ideally I'd like to have a script to run in the background, waiting for one of two keystroke sequences....CTRL-1 & CTRL-2, for example, that would move control into either the primary or secondary monitor/screen areas (maybe by just jumping the cursor (hidden) between the two screen areas).

This would simplify running dual presentations (PowerPoint, for example) from a single laptop (I'm using a great little SEE2 adapter from Tritton.com) without having to move the cursor back n' forth between screens (each time running the risk of having the cursor appear in a presentation's view).

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Just use MouseMove to move the mouse to the required position. E.g. a negative X value will move to the left secondary monitor. However, it's not possible to hide the mouse cursor.

Yes, I had originally intended to:

GetActiveWindow>Width,height

and intelligently MouseMove accordingly with that info received.

I was just looking for thoughts on script to read/act upon keystroke input
(i.e., CTRL-1 / CTRL-2 or something similar) to carry out that mouse move (which incidently normally doesn't disrupt a PowerPoint presentation/slideshow....'more significant' mouse motion normally is reqd. to make the cursor actually appear.

Create two scripts. One to move to screen A and another to move to screen B and then assign each a hot key (Macro Properties/Hot Key).
