Demo
2022-10-25.12-51-37.mp4
Install
CLI
brew tap cryogenicplanet/hoveddisplay
brew install hoveddisplay
Raycast
The CLI is required for raycast extension to work.
For right now, just clone this repo and import it as an extension in raycast. I will publish this to the raycast extension repo at some point
Usage
CLI
hoveddisplay list # Returns a list of all displays
hoveddisplay json # Returns this list as JSON
hoveddisplay change <UUID> # Sets the main display to the one specified
hoveddisplay change 37D8832A-2D66-02CA-B9F7-8F30A301B230
Raycast
The demo above shows the raycast usage. The extension is pretty simple, it just runs the CLI with the selected display as an argument.
Acknowledgment
This was heavily insipired by https://github.com/jakehilborn/displayplacer and was a starting guide for building this, the main difference is that this automatically sets your origins so you can just choose which is your main display.
