How to fix the location of the Dock (i.e. monitor on which cmd + tab switcher is shown) in multi monitor display.

[vijaydaultani]

Hi @jigish and others,

I usually use 3 monitors setup. One problem which has annoyed since me since my first usage of multi monitor setup is monitor where cmd + tab switcher output is displayed keeps on changing every now and then.

Following are the stackExchange threads which discuss the same.

1. macbook - Why does my dock keep moving back to my other monitor?

2. cmd-tab behavior on Mavericks with multiple displays

Current Solution

1. "You can summon the Dock on a different display by moving the cursor to the bottom of the desired display, and then continuing moving down. It may be possible that this is occurring when you inadvertently perform that action." Copy and Pasted from one of the above blogs.
   The below solution is very annoying, as you have to touch your mouse every time and keep on continuing moving down.

Required Solution using slate

1. Fix the monitor on which cmd + tab switcher is displayed.
2. A keyboard shortcut to reinitialize it back to a specific monitor.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Regards

Hi. I was also trying to fix this behaviour. I have not tried to find a solution via Slate, but recently found out that there is a better and easier way if you can live with your Dock and switcher always staying on the main screen: in Preferences > Mission Control, uncheck "Displays have separate Spaces", then log out and back in.
