Tips and tricks of input director
In my previous blog posts I’ve mentioned that I’m a big fan of Input Director. Today I’d like to share some tips and tricks for getting the best out of Input Director.
- Use Hotkeys
Hotkeys allow you to quickly switch between screens. For instance, when you press Ctrl+Tab, you’ll go back to the last active window. Pressing Tab again will bring you forward to the first active window.
You can also assign hotkeys to specific windows. For instance, pressing Alt+Ctrl+F12 will open the Settings dialog box for the current window.
- Set Up Multiple Monitors
Using multiple monitors allows you to display different applications on each monitor. For instance, you may have a browser window on one monitor and a spreadsheet on another.
- Configure Keyboard Shortcuts
Configuring shortcuts makes switching between screens easier. For instance, you can configure Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow to move the mouse pointer to the left edge of the screen.
- Customize Screen Sizes
You can customize the size of each screen individually. For instance, you could make the primary monitor larger than the secondary monitor.
- Add Extra Screens
Adding extra screens lets you run multiple instances of Input Director simultaneously. For instance, you might have a web browser running on one screen and a word processor on another.
- Create Desktops
Desktops let you organize your apps into groups. For instance, you’d have a desktop for your email, another for your social media sites, and so forth.
- Organize Apps
Organizing your apps into folders makes finding them much faster. For instance, you wouldn’t have to search through every folder just to find your favorite photo editor.
