Refresh alttab when external monitor/s are dis/connected #2983
Comments
Hi, Could you please share a video showcasing the issue? I can't reproduce it. Thank you 🙇 |
Hey @lwouis , I couldn't make a video, but I made screenshots and detailed reproduction steps: My spaces are turned off.
To me it seems that the issue is when waking up from sleep when everything is connected. In any case, I think that a double click on the menubar icon, or an entry in the icon context menu that will force the alttab to refresh - can be a nice addition :) |
Hi @EcksDy, I can't reproduce your scenario. AltTab always shows what's on the screen correctly to me. Furthermore, on your step 4, you write "All windows are on the main monitor". In my case, when I open the macbook lid, and log in, windows are spread accross both monitors, as they were previously. In my attempts, macOS always remembers where windows were. If I disconnect the external monitor, all windows go onto the builtin display. However, as soon as I reconnect the external monitor, windows which were previously there go back there. I don't understand how you get to step 4. And on Step 7, you mention that reconnecting HDMI will have the "windows return to their places". What version of macOS and AltTab are you using? |
I have a similar problem but to me it happens when the computer goes to sleep. I have 2 external monitors connected to a M2 Mac Book Pro. The main screen is disabled though BetterDisplay. Every time the computer goes to sleep some of the windows no longer appear in the AltTab carousel when i start it up again. So I have to restart the the app, even made a script for that since it happens so often. I do not use fullscreen mode just regular zoomed windows. Here are some version details: AltTab 6.72.0, Mac OS: 14.6.1 let me know if you need some more information. Thanks. |
Is your feature suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.
These are the settings I'm using, note that I show windows only from the monitor where the alttab is shown.
Currently I have to close and reopen alttab to show the actual windows on the monitor when I connect/disconnect external monitors. I actually have it on an automator script that I run when that happens.
Describe the solution you'd like
I want alttab to detect any monitor dis/connection and make sure the correct windows are shown.
