Keys are not displaying on second monitor

Open csharpfritz opened this issue 7 years ago • 12 comments

Even though the display position is selected on a second (or third) monitor, the keystrokes are not showing on that display device.

Works fine on my windows 7 64 bit en-us version...

I’ll clarify: on Win10 fall creators update it doesn’t position the output on secondary screens

Windows 7 64-bit Professional user; version 6.17601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601. Carnac only displays on the middle monitor of a 3 screen setup. Ignores any attempts to switch to a different monitor. Offsets are limited to middle monitor so I can't fake it by having slide left or right. :)

I have the same situation in Windows 10 (1809 ver CH). My own solution is to set the display that needs display software as the main computer display.

I had the same issue so I dug deep into the source and realized that the problem is that I have my displays on top of each other, and carnac only sets the Left property of the view based on the left property of the selected display.

I've created a PR which adds the required changes to the code: https://github.com/Code52/carnac/pull/238

@szelpe Any updates on this? Are you still working on the PR?

I'm affected by the same issue.

Same issue here. Two Displays working well, 3rd Display not.

If i change the display i will have carnac working to MAIN DISPLAY it works.

@psxvoid The PR code works on my computer, apparently no one is really maintaining the PRs any more.

That's a bummer. It would be very cool to see your changes in the main app. Or at least in a chocolatey package.
