Assign desktops to monitors?

Postby ugachmaaz » 27.10.2014 18:41:35

Hi folks,

I have connected two monitors to my laptop.. So in effect, I have three monitors including the laptop screen.

I am wondering if I can assign different desktops to different monitors. i.e. Monitor 1 automatically displays Desktop 1 and Monitor 2 displays desktop 2.

This would help when I switch, say, from Desktop 1 to Desktop 2, the active work area merely switches from Monitor 1 to Monitor 2, leaving the Desktop 1 displayed on Monitor 1. This feature would be of huge help when reading in one window (on desktop 1) while writing in another window (on desktop 2).

Is this possible?

Thanks!

No, it's not possible to assign desktops to monitors like that. What comes closest and might be useful in the situation you've described, is the ability to completely exclude a certain monitor from desktop switching: Settings > Switching Desktops > Monitors.
