Toggling Between Monitors In-Game

[-Aura-]

Using CCC 10.3, extended desktop, both digital.

Works great, can drag windows from one to the other, mouse glides over to second display etc etc, but I would like to enable a hotkey or use some program to enable me to toggle to the secondary display while in-game without alt/tabbing out.

I'm pretty sure you can't do that unless you run the program in windowed mode.

Yes, W7, thx for replies.

All that does is minimise game window and present dual display options.

Anyone who plays COD5 knows that it's nigh-on impossible to get back in game if you Alt/Tab out or minimise unless in windowed mode.

I've been doing that Kyle m8, thx man.

I'm gonna look down the route of perhaps invoking a G key and looking into whether or not Logitech software can be used? Long shot or maybe a bridge too far, dunno yet :\

well if you figure out a way to do it just set it as a recorded macro and of you go then set another key for the reverse process i find myself making little quirky macro's all the time especially in photoshop

Alt and Enter keys work for me, puts your game into windowed mode and your mouse is free to move it, when you want your game back just click the game and press Alt and Enter again.

Alt and Enter does nothing this end, hmm.

Thx guys.
