LaunchBox positioning

I'm really not sure about that I'm afraid. And it would also mean registering a new hotkey ("me not like"). You'll have to convince me harder. You or the tens of guys who are about to show up in this thread to back your request. |
Meh... If it were rather quick and easy to code, or if it gets backed by a bunch of people, I'd say it would be a "nice to have". Personally, there are other enhancements that are much higher in my priority list. Note, however, that what I had in mind would not require a new hotkey. It would be just a new |
That would be OK'ish (which means dirty, which still means "me not like") if every user would agree then be absolutely positively sure that each time she wants to popup KP, it should appear next to mouse's coordinates. I cannot believe you find this reasonable :) EDIT it is indeed an easy add technically-wise. That does not mean it should be done. |
I use a tiny app that does just that for task switching. |
If it happens to be implemented one day, it won't be that way. |

@poisonborz You should pay attention about the difference between wanting to be able to configure KP so it gets shown on a different monitor (say "always monitor 2" for example), and KP being shown on the same screen than current mouse position. While the mix of both features is a perfectly credible alternative technically-wise, it is something different than the point of the OP. Which one do you intend to back here? |
First and foremost basic (pre-set value) multi-monitor support (but maybe that's a separate request). OP's intention is a further step - maybe a better name for this thread would be: "automatically select which monitor to display KP on". Whether this would be by tracking the mouse (not necessarily ideal solution IMHO), an active window, or something else is up in the air, but it's an idea worth considering. Possible scenario: having TV/projector hooked up to a PC, KP would automatically show up there if those displays are being currently used. |
To summarize the request so far, the

Continuing from #67, positioning is an important aspect of a task launcher - everyone's desktop workspace layout is different (persistent UI elements, multiple, different-sized displays). One quarter Rainmeter (a windows desktop widget framework) saves widget positions per each new detected resolution after closing. As this is purely a visual/preferential issue so it's a bit hard to argue besides the first sentence above. Being a simple propotion value, it actually struck me as a surprise that this was a fixed value. It resembled Apple's "one-size-fits-all" motto, which is a bit contradictory to the universal/configurable ethos described in the docs. Compared to the multi-monitor discussion in this thread, in itself |
@poisonborz While your comment fits into the scope of the current request (i.e. LaunchBox positioning), it would probably require an extra setting so the user can adjust the behavior of the |

Implemented in 2.9 |

Not that i feel very strongly about this, but it would be nice to be able to configure KP to open the launch box in the same monitor where the mouse pointer is (i.e. where the user us more likely to be looking at the moment), as opposed to always on the primary screen.
