Secondary monitor support

Post by onurdemirsoy »

Hello,

When I open Moho and move it to my second monitor it works fine but when I close and reopen it it opens on the main monitor. I wonder if there is a way to open it automatically on the last monitor I used?

Yeah, that's been an issue for some time.

One thing you can try:

1. Open Moho.
2. move it to the second monitor.
3. Manually resize the window to fill the screen. (In other words, don't use Maximize.)
4. Quit Moho.

Now when you relaunch Moho, it should open in full size on the second monitor. It's not a proper way to set the preferred display but it should work. (I think this is how I have it set up at my workplace. I can't check that now because I'm still working from home these days.)

A second way is to set your second display as your primary display from Display Settings.

It seemed like I had a third way to do this...let me see if I can find it in my notes.

Here we go:

1. Open the program (Moho in this case).
2. Move the window to the monitor on which you would like it to open by default.
3. Press the keys Windows + Shift + Enter.

This supposed to be the 'official' way to make a program stick to the second monitor but, from what I recall, I was not able to make this method work with Moho. Sorry, I can't check this with 13.5.1 because I'm not set up with 2 displays ATM.

Going back to my first method, I read that some users can use Maximize after they've quit Moho while it unmaximized while on the second screen, and then Maximize after a relaunch--after that, it should stick. I don't think that worked for me either but it's worth a try.

Windows + Shift + Left/Right arrow can also be used to move an application from one monitor to another quickly.

HeHe. Never knew that. I have used Win+Left/Right, but this Windows + Shift + Left/Right is super-quick.
