Secondary Window

Secondary Window lets you spread OmniScope scopes across two displays.

Current Scope

The current implementation is focused on macOS and supports two native windows:

Main Window
Secondary Window

Requirements

Two connected displays
Multi-monitor support enabled in Preferences
App restart after enabling multi-monitor support

Open and Close the Secondary Window

Use the macOS menu:

Window > Open Secondary Window
Window > Close Secondary Window

The app remembers the secondary window position and whether it was open.

Assign Scopes to a Window

Use a scope tab menu (hamburger) and select:

Window > Main Window
Window > Secondary Window

When the secondary window is closed, scopes assigned to it are hidden. Reopening restores them.

Adding New Scopes to the Secondary Window

To add new scopes directly in the secondary window, right-click any empty space in the window and select a scope from the Scope context menu.

This works when the window is empty or when there is available space between or around existing scopes.

If all scopes are docked to fill the entire window, there is no empty space to right-click. To add more scopes, first remove or resize an existing scope to create empty space, then right-click to add the new scope and dock it back into the layout.

Layouts

Saved layouts include both windows and scope placement. If only one display is available, scopes are arranged on the active display.

Full Screen

View → Full Screen (or the keyboard shortcut) toggles full screen on both the main and secondary windows simultaneously on macOS and Windows. Each window enters full screen on its own display.

Current Limitations

No drag-and-drop of scope tabs between OS windows
Two-window setup only
Secondary window uses a UI-only render path
