Did you try the latest beta from releases?

[bastula]

I tried the latest beta and I think it's an issue specific to Mac OS 10.12.6.

[fikovnik]

Interesting. I'm waiting for a new laptop so I cannot check it right now (currently on pc w/ linux).

same behavior on 10.13 high sierra
using "toggle full screen" applies to full screen window on 2nd monitor.
next usage applies to active window

[Fizz94]

only Iterm in full screen mode，issue appear，other app will be not，such as Safari。

[patrickoliveras]

Interestingly, all Shiftit commands work if the window being manipulated is the same app as the one in Full Screen mode.

Example steps to replicate:

1. Maximize a Chrome window.
2. Create a new Chrome window but in a Desktop.
3. Use Shiftit commands willi-nilly.

confirmed on 10.13.1

+1 - I'm having the same issue on 10.13.2 and ShiftIt 1.6.4.

I was on the 1.6.4 "beta" linked in #216 by @fikovnik on Oct 21, 2016 and that had been working for several months. I got pushed an update recommended by the ShiftIt app and then everything broke per this thread.

Even though I am attempting to use ShiftIt on the non-full screen windows side (Fusion is running full screen on a second monitor), I get this error in the debug log

2017-12-08 08:32:25.434 ShiftIt[7399/0x7fff9d33c340] [lvl=3] -[ShiftItAppDelegate invokeShiftItActionByIdentifier_:] Execution of ShiftIt action: bottom failed: Windows in fullscreen are not supported

I'm having the same issue on 10.13.1 and ShiftIt 1.6.4.

Any update on this issue?

As for @deldrid1 it's working perfectly with the 1.6.4 beta version on an older OSX version (10.12.6).
I would have tried the beta version on the latest OSX version but can't find it anymore...

[deldrid1]

@jeep87c - I managed to dig ShiftIt out of an old time machine backup. This is working fine on 10.13.2: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/svz1xz5mw86nqco/AAC-JAwqcpDq6h1P7C4wBFRna?dl=0

Yeah I seem to have this issue whenever I have ANY app in full screen mode shiftit will not work at all. like to for instance keep a database window open in full screen in a space on a 3rrd monitor and when I do so it disables me from using shiftit in any other windows (chrome in my case)..

Workaround is I can instead of using fullscreen mode for that app open a new desktop via spaces and use shiftit's maximize function..

@davidsielert - I can also confirm this:
Multiple monitors with one app full-screened - ShiftIt does not work at all.
Multiple monitors with no apps full-screened - ShiftIt works as designed.

This was new to me as I had not been using multiple monitors until recently.
