Open avinayak opened 5 years ago

avinayak commented 5 years ago

Does the extension support multiple screens?

SiL3x commented 5 years ago

Not really so far as I can see. But would be awesome!

i have 3 screens. the terminal i popping up in the vertical center of the main screen.

avinayak commented 5 years ago

I have small laptop screen and a large monitor, I wanted the terminal to appear on the larger screen, but It's not possible. From what I remember, guake and tilda supported multiple screens. ie, you can choose which monitor the terminal appears in.

bigbn commented 5 years ago

I'll try to implement it this month

snaggen commented 5 years ago

As I commented on another issue, saying that you could look at the virtual keyboard, I realize that this is probably something worth looking at even for this. The virtual keyboard management is probably the best way to go to get a drop down terminal to behave as expected. I assume that it handles multi screen also. To get the virtual keyboard working, I assume they have built some components that might be very useful for a drop down terminal.

must be tested before release

Did a pull to test this, but regardless of me setting the MultiMonitor checkbox or not, it still opens on the monitor that is active. What I see is that it always use the selected montior to determine the size (even if "Multi-monitor mode" is selected). But it is still displayed on the currently active monitor (causing it to be displayed wrong, half of the time). Note, I'm on Fedora 30 using Wayland.

@snaggen this mode is not implemented yet. I thougth I hid it via 6f2882410b77abdf37b57ed940491aab0fb91ade, but it still visible. So can you provide feedback about main feature of this changes, about selection monitor to display only. Multimonitor feature will be hidden until I implement it.

snaggen commented 5 years ago

Ok, not using multimonitor mode, the dropdown will still only affect which monitor that is used for the width of the window. The window it self is still displayed on the active screen, with the width of the selected monitor.

Just checked on another computer. Works well under Xorg, seems like issue with wayland compatibility.

bigbn commented 5 years ago

I'm sorry but i'm not able to reproduce wayland behaviour right now, because my video device (RTX2060) is not supported by "nouveau", and current "nvidia" driver did't work with wayland
