Open Tilda on mouse cursor's monitor #219

Open thomasfinstad opened 8 years ago

thomasfinstad commented 8 years ago

Would it be possible to have tilda open on the monitor the mouse is currently on? This is the only feature that keeps me from using tilda on my main workstation instead of guake.

lanoxx commented 8 years ago

When you say open do you mean you want the tilda window to switch the monitor to where your mouse is, every time you pull down the terminal, or just when you open it the first time?

thomasfinstad commented 8 years ago

Each time you have tilda show itself it should do so on the mouse monitor (making sure to resize to that monitor).

If you wish to better know what I mean try it with guake.

If it isn't an acceptable feature request, maybe configurable hotkeys for it to open on different monitors?

I think I have understood it. I can't promise you that I will implement this, but if you or anyone else wants to submit a pull request, then of course I will merge it. Other wise I might do it when I have some time.

My "workaround" this is to have several tilda instances open. 2 on the wider screen and 1 in the other one. at 60% of heigh. This way i can have a terminal in both screens where i need it :)

f11 when i need one of them to take the whole screen. And with "focus before toogling" option you can move between them without touching the mouse

Any update on implementing this feature? I'd really love it and it's currently the only thing stopping me from using Tilda as opposed to Guake.

I also need/want this feature.

My workaround is to move the terminal to the second monitor by pressing alt+moving the window. I'm using xfce. After doing that, it KIND OF works.

Why kind of? When my active monitor is my main monitor, it works as expected. When my active monitor is my second monitor, tilda appears there every second-time. If I press my pull-down-hotkey an odd number of times, it will be in the second monitor. If I press my pull-down-hotkey an even number of times, it will be in the main monitor. Weird.

I would love to see this implemented as well

Damn, that sadly is a deal-breaker for me. It looks great. I guess I'll try to find a recent version of xfce-terminal, which has this feature, but is currently broken in Fedora 35. Promises are that it is fixed in latest version.

Any updates here? I know I could use tdrop or the gnome guake any app gnome extension but it seems like it should just open on the monitor my cursor is on. It's probably harder to implement in a cross platform way I know but it'd be really nice.
