2nd monitor on middle machine

July 9, 2022 6:52:59 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Just an odd usage question. My home setup is a 6 monitor setup. Three on the top and three on the bottom. My "main computer" uses the two in the middle with the four on the outside being hooked up to dell micros. I use multiplicity to control them all. I am trying to get the 2nd (top) monitor to work in a 3 wide by 2 deep grid. Basically letting me move the mouse from the top monitor to the left and right so that it utilizes the systems.

I hope I am explaining it in a fashion that people can imagine. I can upload an image if needed.

 

MC1 = Main Computer Monitor 1

MC2 = Main Computer Monitor 2

 

 

PC4     MC2     PC5

PC2     MC1     PC3

 

I want to be able to move the mouse from MC2 to the left and right. Currently since it is a 2nd monitor on that main computer, i have to move the mouse down, then left and right, and then up. I am looking to bridge that gap between 2nd monitor on a main pc and pc's 4 and 5.

I am afraid that the monitors out of sequence (meaning PC mons mixed between each other) are always going to require maze-like mouse movements to get to the choice monitor.  The next version of Multiplicity will likely have monitor placement on the grid instead of PCs as it is now - solving this issue once and for all.

That said, to help with this, you can use Multiplicity Hotkeys:
