Multiple Display
0 vote
Remote has 2 displays... I can switch between them by selecting Display 0 or 1 on the menu bar. It would be great to be able to switch display by sliding my mouse to the right or left of the screen if in full screen mode.
If in windowed mode, a pause at the edge of the window could switch...
If I have more than one monitor on the local machine... could I open additional remote screens?
Thanks

Hi Raphael,
We have multiple concurrent monitors on the roadmap, it should be implemented later this year. It's more complicated than a single monitor at a time for various reasons. As for automatic switching between monitors by placing the mouse at the edge of the screen, have you seen such a feature in other products? I'd be curious to see how others might have implemented something like that.
Best regards,

I've not seen this in a remote control software like Wayk or T. V. but did see something like that in Linux which did that if the mouse was moved to the edge of the screen. the screen to that side moved in.
My favorite look though is the Compiz desktop manager in Linux... Now it requires additional key presses (CRTL-ALT-Click) while using mouse to change view... But it looks so cool as the cube rotates. I know... its eye candy but people would go crazy over a feature like that.

Hi there,
I was wondering about the status of this feature...

Hi Raphael
Thanks a lot for your patience. I know this is a very old request but until this point there has been nothing to add.
Simultaneous multi-monitor support is still not available and not on the immediate roadmap. However we do acknowledge that the interface for switching between displays is really clunky when you need to switch displays often. The next release should add a keyboard hotkey for quickly swapping displays - please see this thread.
If you could share what platform you are using (Windows, macOS, etc) it would help inform decisions around any possible eye-candy that we could add to display switches.
I will post back here with an update on that. In the meantime, thanks a lot for your patience!
Thanks and kind regards,

Hi Raphael
Wayk Now 2020.1.4 is now available, and adds hotkeys for switching between remote displays.
For Windows, the relevant shortcut is [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[1-9]. On all platforms, the shortcut combination is listed next to the menu item in the session window.
If you have any questions or feedback regarding that, please don't hesitate to post back here.
Thanks and kind regards,
