Keyboard shortcut for switching monitors

I have 2 monitors attached to my system, one of them is on the desktop when I'm sitting at the computer and the second monitor is on the wall in front of my bed, so I can watch movies and play games while I'm in my bed, I never use two of the same thing at the same time , I use on the desktop or on the wall, never both.

I wish there was a keyboard shortcut that allows you to quickly switch between monitors.

Now, in Windows Vista to pass the main monitors that I have to do this: go to display settings, select the monitor I want to be primany and then turn off the monitor I do not want to use, and then it gives me 15 seconds to say yes or no on the new display settings.

I wish I could do it quickly with a shortcut key Windows + M or something.

It is not available in Vista and he could find no 3rd party addons, which offers this option.  Here, an article on how to create your own shortcuts in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/74063-keyboard-shortcut.html.  The problem is that I don't know what program is used to switch between monitors - if we could find out, we could create our own shortcut key.  I keep lookig but I've been looking for a while now and haven't found anything.  Try to give it a shot yourself.

Try to download Process Monitor, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx and see if that helps to locate changes and/or running programs when you change monitors in the ordinary way.  Perhap we find the control program or maybe the registry key responsible for this behavior.  I don't know if it will help, but it may be a step in the right direction.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Y at - it a keyboard shortcut for switching windows?

    I see that there is a keyboard shortcut for switching tabs in a window of Firefox, but I would also like one to switch between the windows of the browser. I guess it's easier on Windows, where each browser window kind of behaves as an application separate, but on the Mac OS, an application can have multiple windows. Thus, the operating system does not provide supported to switch between browser windows via a keyboard shortcut; It allows to switch between applications, which brings all of the windows in the application target forward.

    To switch between using Firefox windows: Cmd (Shift) + ~ (Tilde)

  • Shortcut keyboard/shortcuts for switching between monitors - GeForce 8800 M GTX?

    Hello world

    I have a portable XPS1730 with card Dual 512 MB GeForce 8800 M GTX running on Vista SP1 32 and I was wondering if there is a way to set up a keyboard shortcut to move applications between the laptop screen and my second monitor (a 24 '' Dell). It's a real pain to them lying around all the time.

    I have an ATI card on another machine and configuration Ctrl-Alt-1 and Ctrl-Alt-2 to the application monitor 1 or 2 and it's really convenient. I guess the next best thing to having a keyboard shortcut would be to have some sort of control in the title bar of each window to do it-supported ATI card that also.

    The NVidia Control Panel seems to have limited functionality, unless I'm missing something?

  • Keyboard shortcuts for the video Composite and Audio Waveform

    I work in Premiere Pro CS6 on Mac OS 10.10.5. I am constantly switch between views video Composite and Audio Waveform in the Source monitor Panel. To do this, I have to use the mouse to click on the key icon, and then select one of the points just at the top of the context menu. My workflow would be so much faster if there was a keyboard shortcut.

    The official page of default keyboard shortcuts indicates no shortcut for these menu items. Mac OS system preferences > keyboard > shortcuts [shortcuts App] allows me to create shortcuts for application specific menu items, but not for context menus.

    Is there, however, a way that I can tell Premiere Pro CS6 to use a keyboard shortcut for the video Composite and Audio Waveform views?

    You can create your own... If you scroll the list link you to that, there is the Source section of monitor... which has options short keyboard available for your two wishes:

    Then, use Cmd / Alt + K to do your editing of the keyboard shorts... Scroll way down to find this section, then create a short. At the bottom, it will tell you if it comes into conflict with one another. Here I come to make Composite video, abbreviated as CC2015.2:

    By clicking on the line to the right of the effect you want to order makes these empty lines appear the "x" you will see in this view... click again and you can start typing your proposed short. If your entry on this line is already in use, will appear this very practical warning:

    So... do you some useful shorts!

  • Keyboard shortcut to switch between the dialog box option buttons

    Usually, you can switch between the radio buttons in a dialog on Mac using the Tab key. But this does not work for me in Photoshop dialog boxes, including the dialog box for canvas turning. On windows, its so useful to use keyboard shortcuts to switch between 'Clockwise' and 'Left' in the rotation dialog box.

    How to use keyboard shortcuts to switch between the radio buttons in a dialog box in Photoshop?

    In the Mac system preferences > keyboard, you can set the Tab key to focus on all of the controls. (At the bottom of the dialog box). So I can tab over an option button in Firefox preferences and use the up/down arrow keys to move among option buttons.

    So far, the problem is that Photoshop will not return to this setting. Tab is reserved for numeric fields only.

  • Keyboard shortcut for setting the exposure, image is dark outside for a short period.

    Hello world

    I always used the mouse and the slider to adjust things in the develop module. I know not started using the keyboard shortcuts for quick editing as sugested by everyone and I like it.  My problem is when I adjust all slider with the + or - keys my picture completely off momentarily then comes back with the adjustment.  It's frustrating and completely defeated the purpose of the use of keyboard shortcuts for speed.

    The only changes that I made is that I have improved from a computer of dimensions very old dell to a new computer alienware X 51.  I use 4.4 lightroom 64-bit and a HDMI connection on my monitor.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
