Hi everybody,
I am not sure if i am in the right Mailing list, but I hope someone
can help me. I've got a dualhead graphiccard with two monitors. Each
Monitor has it's own Desktop (Twinview = Off), so you can have
multiple Desktops on each monitor. To work on a Desktop I have to move
the mouse to the specific Monitor (and so the Desktop).
Now I want to do this as well with a Keyboard-shortcut. So I have to
write a script (which will be related to a shortcut and) which set the
focus on the specific Monitor.
I figured out that each Monitor has his own $DISPLAY: :0.0 and :0.1,
but I don't know how I can change the focus within a script.
Anybody an idea or hint?
I use enlightenment as WM. there is a tool called `eesh' which can
interact with the WM, but unfortunatly there is no feature to change
the displays, just the desktop. But I think i can use it to set the
focus in combination with $DISPLAY - I just have no glue how - but
there must be a possibility...
