Yabai not working in secondary display

Open sumanchapai opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Is anyone having the issue that yabai works as in main display not in "Extended" display. By not working in "Extended" display, I mean new windows not tiling automatically, shortcuts to switch focus between windows not working, etc...

I am on MacOS Monterey 12.5.1

I have a similar problem: I cannot switch between spaces on the external monitor. If I run yabai -m space --focus 3 on the main Mac display, it will work, but if I launch the exact same command while using a terminal on the external monitor, it won't work.

But tiling and switching focus between windows in the same space is working, didn't try the rest.

Unable to reproduce on latest version.

Using yabai --restart-service fixes things when things don't work unexpectedly.
