Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Enhancement Request - Left/Right Monitor Move Buttons for enhanced 3-monitor support

I've been using UltraMon for almost 2 years, and I really like it. It's lightweight and does the job.
Up until 2 months ago, I only used 2 monitor. I never had a system with 2 video cards to support 4 monitors. (With a couple motherboards, I tried to make 3 monitors work by including onboard video.)

Well, I finally have it. 2 video cards, with support of 4 monitors. I'm only using 3. Most of the time, I'm moving a window from the middle monitor (imagine a hexagon shaped desk) to the left or right. This take 2 clicks of the program, instead of 1. So at that level, twice the work. I would prefer single click left/right arrows, as an optional view in the settings. If I used 4 monitors, I might prefer the popup window. By the way, I tried 4 monitors, and it took too much effort to look from the monitor all the way on one side to the other side. I ended up never using the 4th one, so it was a waste of energy/electriciy. 3 is more effecient for me.

I was going to include screenshots, but I don't think I can post them here.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks for the suggestion, will be considered for a future release.

I use 3 monitors myself and usually just drag windows between monitors, with UltraMon this also works fine for maximized windows, just grab the window and release the mouse button as soon as the cursor is on the next monitor, UltraMon will then move the window to that monitor and maximize it again.

You could also use hotkeys to move windows to the next/previous monitor, look for the Move Window hotkeys under UltraMon Options > Hotkeys.

Thank you and thanks for the suggestions. I will try the hotkeys. I've gotten used to the button at the top right of each window, so it's just a habit now that I need to change.

If you decide to add this, I'm hoping for...
