Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Hotkey to send to specific monitor?

Hey everyone, is there a way to get a hotkey assigned to send a window to a specific monitor? All I see are options to send to "next" or "previous." I have a 3 monitor setup and would like to be able to hit a key and send a window to, for example, monitor 3, etc... any way to do this?

There's no built-in hotkey for this, but you could do this with the MoveActiveWnd script. Let me know if you have any questions about setting this up.

Hmm, thanks for the help! I can't quite get this to work...

I followed the instructions and moved the script (MoveActiveWnd.vbs) into a folder. Then I set a hotkey to activate the script. When I press the hotkey, I get a window that pops up saying:

"Usage: MoveActiveWind.vbs monID [/r]
/r: resize to fit. Default is resize proportionally"

And then the window does not move. Do I need to change something within the script itself?

You'll need to pass the monitor number to the script, to do this go to UltraMon Options > Hotkeys, select the hotkey you created and click on Edit, then add the monitor number at the end of the 'Application or script' field. This should look something like this:

"C:\My Folder\MoveActiveWnd.vbs" 1
