Multi-monitor

Panels everywhere​

Open Vindue and a grid panel appears on every display at once, each sized so its grid matches that display's shape. Drag on any panel to place the target window on that display — whichever panel you release on wins.

Shortcuts can belong to a specific display: press 3 and the window flies to its saved display, even while you're looking at a different one.

Naming your displays​

When several connected displays share a name (two identical monitors, say), Vindue tells them apart by position — the same arrangement System Settings shows:

  • DELL U2720Q (left) / DELL U2720Q (right)
  • (middle) for triplets
  • (left-to-right #N) for four or more

These labels appear in the Settings dropdown and in error messages, and they are recomputed every time Vindue applies something — so "left" always means the display currently sitting in the left slot. Rearrange your displays and the labels follow.

Unplug, replug, reboot​

macOS doesn't hand apps a permanent ID for displays, so Vindue matches them by name and position, best effort. If a shortcut's saved display is missing when it fires, Vindue falls back gracefully — a same-named display, then the display currently in that position, then the one you're on — and the panel footer tells you which it used. Nothing is ever lost; worst case the window lands on the display in front of you.

Per shortcut you can also choose Relative instead of pinned: the shortcut follows whichever panel you used, rather than a specific display.
