A good tool for some developers

Post by zerver »

Debugging a full screen app that has crashed or hung can be tricky.

But I found this tool which helps a lot if you have a secondary monitor.

Just press ctrl-alt-delete to see the taskbar, start the debugger if necessary (can be done from task manager). Activate the debugger window using the taskbar and finally press Win+Num4 or Win+Num6 a couple of times until the window appears on the secondary monitor.

Of course you can also put the debugger on the secondary monitor beforehand, but that is so easy to forget...

hi,
I usually use ALT+TAB to get the task bar (or whatever method works), select the application that I need to move and then press "ALT+SPACE, M" to activate the moving of the window (if it need to be restored first then just do "ALT+SPACE, R" first), and then you can use arrow keys, or if you manage not to move the mouse before clicking, just hold the left click and then drag. I don't know if the application that you posted does the same thing but from your description I suspect this is what you want to do.

Great. I knew about this move command but not the arrow keys trick.

Thanks
