So I have monitors stacked vertically.  Is there away to get my cursor to move between the monitors by going to the top of the lower monitor to get to the upper monitor?  Right now I have to go to the right of the primary to get to the other monitor.  I wonder if there's some third party app or system preference setting that I can set.

When I have my external monitor hooked up, I access it by mousing off the left hand side of my Macbook display. Can I switch this so that I can access the external by mousing off to the right of My Macbook display?   The reason I ask, is my monitor is on the right side of my macbook, and it's unintuitive to mouse left to get to a screen on the right.

I have three displays, a 4K display flanked by two 1080p displays. Physically, these monitors are roughly the same size. Furthermore, Windows 10 handles the DPI scaling of the 4K monitor separately from the 1080p monitors just fine. So while it appears as such to Windows    the real layout is three monitors of equal size side by side.  The problem is that the mouse keeps getting caught on the edges of display 2 and three when dragging from display 1. I would like the mouse to continue onto display 2 or 3 regardless of which part of the left or right edge of display 1 the mouse touches.  This question has been asked before (e.g. ) and a common answer is to suggest that this behaviour is intentional on the basis that mouse movement should reflect different size displays. Such an answer is not appropriate as it doesn't consider DPI and scaling.

I connected my laptop to my LCD. Using the laptop display hotkey I can switch between different modes - only laptop monitor on, only LCD monitor on, both on and display the same view, both on and the desktop is stretched (divided).  But, I'm looking for something else - I would like to have two workspaces, one visible on the laptop monitor and the other on the LCD.  Is that possible?

ArcGIS doesn't seem to have much support for dual monitors. Maybe I'm missing something, but as far as I can tell you can't have the data view and layout view open at the same time on the two monitors, nor can you expand the map view to fill one monitor and have the toolbars and such on the other. How do you take advantage of dual monitors?

Is it possible to adjust desktop monitor brightness like on laptops? Yes all desktop monitors have separate menu for it. But is it possible to change this to something like Winkey+(F1..F12)?    Monitor is connected via VGA or DVI cable.   OS: Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop monitors

I need to create a multi-monitor setup for my desktop computer but I have no additional monitors with me right now, aside from my laptop. Is it possible to use my laptop screen as an external monitor?  Note that I am not trying to connect a monitor to my laptop, rather, I am trying to connect my laptop screen to a desktop video card (if this is possible).

One of the big new features for Windows is the fact that multiple "virtual" desktops are now natively supported, allowing you to organise collections of windows together and separate groups of tasks.  This is good.  You can move windows between desktops by clicking the "tasks" button and then right clicking an application window and selecting "Move to..."  This is a bit clunky and not quite so good.  I have two monitors and often like to have a film playing on my second monitor, either in a web browser or media player, while I have a browser and some other applications on the main screen. Doing this isn't a problem in my current setup, it just works.   With the advent of virtual desktops I was wanting to put the browser on one virtual desktop and another app on another virtual desktop and still be able to watch the video when I switch desktops, effectively having it visible on both virtual desktops. Using the default Film &amp; TV app to play a video and then moving to another desktop simply results in your video stopping without any warning.   This is not good.  What I was hoping was that either the two monitors would have their own virtual desktop or their would be some "pin to all desktops" option similar to the "sticky window" feature that I have seen in many Linux based window managers.  Is there some way to achieve this?

In Windows 7, we can easily arrange two windows with these shortcuts: Option (Alt) ⌥ + ← maximizes the window to the left side of the screen, and Option (Alt) ⌥ + → maximizes the window to the right side of the screen.  I'm using a 27" iMac now, and I'd really like to do this. Does Mac OS X have this functionality?

It seems Microsoft has tried to solve this problem .  In Windows 7, there is no boundary between monitors and the mouse can move freely across the top of the screen between my 3 monitors, provided I had set their heights equal in display settings. Windows 8 introduced sticky corners. See .  Windows 10 got sticky corners as well. There are a few pixels at the top corners of each display where the mouse cannot cross over onto the other display. One must move the cursor down to avoid this region in order to get to the next display.  The image shows roughly the region where mouse movement is not permitted in Windows 10, but is allowed in Windows 7.    Personally, I had no problem with unrestricted mouse movement across the top of my screens - I got used to "aiming" for the x, and the convenience of unrestricted cursor movement. Like all the people who wanted to disable it in W8, I'm wondering if there is a way to disable it in W10.  Edit to address possible duplicate:  Although the problem is identical to the one in , solutions to solve the problem in W8 involving editing the registry key MouseCornerClipLength do not work in W10, since that registry key is not present in W10. Also adding that key and setting the value doesn't work. I searched the entire registry and couldn't find it in another location. No other W10 keys in the node referenced in the W8 solution are obvious replacements.  Edit to address possible solutions in comments  harrymc's  and  that worked for for Windows 8.1 do not work in Windows 10.

I recently switched to a new PC at work, one with two (identical, Dell 23") monitors. I'm running Linux Mint 15 64bit / Cinnamon. Is there a way to set it up in such a way that, instead of both monitors sharing the same huge workspace, they are on separate smaller ones? E.g. left monitor on workspace 1, right monitor on workspace 2, and I could switch either monitor to workspace 3 if needed?  Failing that, is there a way to duplicate the bottom panel onto the second monitor? Currently it is only displayed on the left one.

I have currently decided to test my double monitors in the vertical configuration, and I came across a problem that I had never had before:  the input line on my terminal is too far down the screen!  I was wondering if there is a way to make the output scroll downwards, so that the input line stays at the top.  e.g., a normal terminal view looks like this:  PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=1 ttl=46 time=28.3 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=2 ttl=46 time=13.7 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=3 ttl=46 time=19.1 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=4 ttl=45 time=20.8 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=5 ttl=45 time=15.6 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=6 ttl=46 time=15.3 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=7 ttl=46 time=15.3 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=8 ttl=45 time=14.3 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=9 ttl=45 time=14.3 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=10 ttl=45 time=15.5 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=11 ttl=45 time=16.9 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=12 ttl=45 time=16.3 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=13 ttl=45 time=20.0 ms ^C --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics --- 13 packets transmitted, 13 received, 0% packet loss, time 12017ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 13.773/17.391/28.343/3.812 ms me@my_computer:~$    and instead I would like to have something like this:  me@my_computer:~$  rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 13.773/17.391/28.343/3.812 ms 13 packets transmitted, 13 received, 0% packet loss, time 12017ms --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics --- ^C 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=13 ttl=45 time=20.0 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=12 ttl=45 time=16.3 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=11 ttl=45 time=16.9 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=10 ttl=45 time=15.5 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=9 ttl=45 time=14.3 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=8 ttl=45 time=14.3 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=7 ttl=46 time=15.3 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=6 ttl=46 time=15.3 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=5 ttl=45 time=15.6 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=4 ttl=45 time=20.8 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=3 ttl=46 time=19.1 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=2 ttl=46 time=13.7 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=1 ttl=46 time=28.3 ms PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.

I've set up my fair share of Macs over the years, but I've never been able to pinpoint what setting tells OS X that you're ok with being able to drag-resize a window vertically so that it goes behind the dock (assuming the dock is in its default position at the bottom of the screen), as opposed to only being able to resize it vertically so that it is touching the top of the dock's "space".  My work computer is a 21" iMac Core 2 Duo and it drives me crazy because I'll quickly drag-resize a window larger by pulling down and to the right but instead of staying locked vertically above the dock it'll slide behind it which I don't like so then I've gotta jiggle the window around to get it all back into visible space... my home computer (6 core tower) doesn't have this problem even though I've, from what I can tell, set it up nearly identically.  Both machines running the latest version of snow leopard.  Here's a video captured from my machine at home showing the window resize behaviour I prefer. If it helps at all I can do another one from my work machine tomorrow showing the windows resizing behind the dock.

I have 2 monitors. The main one is horizontal, the secondary one is vertical.    When moving from the right to the left monitor, if the mouse hits the areas I've shown in red, it gets stuck. I would like to change this behavior.  Whenever the mouse hits any part of the tall monitor's left edge, it should be wrapped to the wide monitor's right edge. I don't particularly care where on the edge it gets wrapped: It's fine if it's just the closest point like I've shown in the image (dashed line is the wrap/teleport).  How can I do this?

About ten years ago everyone at work started using dual monitors. It was great. But I switched to laptop for most tasks and do not have a second monitor. It occurred to me that I have a second screen right next to me (my phone) that I'm not using.   Is it possible to use it as a second monitor? I can imagine using it to show a training video while I follow along on the main screen.   I have a Mac and my phone is Android Galaxy 6S. I have an older iPhone 4S as well. Funnibly enough, my Android phone has higher resolution than my Macbook.

I tried to find an answer to this a few years ago, but it seemed it wasn't possible then (I suspect it isn't now either! - but what the hell!)   I have a three monitor system, that I mostly use for remote desktop. However occasionally it would be useful to have remote desktop on two monitors and use the other monitor for the local machine.   I know it is possible to have a single monitor full screen, or to stretch an RDP session across monitors, but this loses things like snapping etc.   P.S. this is a duplicate of  thread, but that was a couple of years ago, I'm hoping things have changed.

I have two monitors. The left monitor is set as primary, but the Unity Launcher appears on the right monitor.    How can I move it to the other monitor?

I find this beyond frustrating.  I have two extra screens on my laptop at work. I take my laptop and go home, with no extra screens connected. I come back, dock the laptop, and the windows need to be rearranged again.  Is there a way to get windows (or a utility) to keep track of the overall screen configuration (#, size, resolution), and remember where windows were placed, so when the screen configuration matches again, it puts applications BACK where they were?
