I have V9 with windows 8.1. When I have a external monitor connected, I will drag everything over to the monitor and close the program from the monitor. Yet, every time I open VC; the snaps and inspector windows open on the monitor while the program and toolbar open on the laptop screen. So I have to drag everything over every time I open the program. Any way to fix this?

There needs to be a virtual/magnetic canvas or palette to "lasso" these things in. In this way, one would need only grab the virtual palette containing all the user-specific tools palettes and docks.

Also, what I think is needed, is a combo key invocation to "summon" the tools and docks to "muster/assemble" on the location of the mouse pointer, sort of like some tools do in Mac or Linux, when the docker or related add-ons are run.

And, the program needs to somehow figure out where the geometry of the external moni... Umm, displays exists singly, not just in grouped mode. When I say "grouped mode", what I mean is the gross count of resolution, the total of two screens somehow "impressively" used to convey "desktop" workspace. Fine, but when apps expand or shrink on individual displays, their geometry being ignored means tool palettes, docks, notifications, and dialogs can go "walkabout", and frustratingly difficult to reign in. For those occasions, the "magnetic cursor" needs to be able to say, "YOOHOO, TOOLS! Form up on ME!"

LogiCursor needs this new trick up its sleeve -- assuming some miscreantic PAE has not drafted up something for this functionality only to sue the licensing bejeezuz out of anyone implementing such a feature.
