Multi-Display Support for "Move into New Window" Feature

Open r-uben opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Description: I would like to request a new feature that enhances the "Move into New Window" functionality to support multi-display setups. Currently, when using this feature, the new window always opens on the same display as the main Cursor window. For users with multiple monitors, this often requires manually moving the new window to the desired display.

Proposed Feature:

  • Add an option to specify which display the new window should open on when using "Move into New Window"
  • This could be implemented as:
    1. A dropdown menu in the "Move into New Window" dialog to select the target display
    2. A configurable default setting in Cursor preferences
    3. A keyboard shortcut modifier (e.g., Shift + "Move into New Window" to open on the next display)

Benefits:

  1. Improved workflow efficiency for multi-monitor users
  2. Reduced need for manual window management
  3. Better utilization of available screen real estate

Use Case: As a developer working with multiple monitors, I often want to view my code and the output side-by-side on different displays. The ability to automatically open new windows on a specific display would streamline my workflow and reduce the time spent on window management.

Additional Considerations:

  • This feature should gracefully handle setups with varying numbers of displays
  • It should remember the last used display preference for future use

I believe this feature would greatly enhance the user experience for many Cursor users who work with multiple displays. Thank you for considering this request!
