Hi, stupid question for you all.
As I understand it, multi-boxing is allowed if you dont broadcast imputs to all open clients. Am I correct in thinking that?
Given that is the case, I would like to run three cleints at once, unfortunately I only run two monitors. Is there a program/method of organising the client windows to easily switch control between them?
Apologies if this has been asked and answered before.

as far as im aware you can use the the program for viewing screens but not to broadcast the inputs, dont quote me on this though.

try alt +tab for switching screens

I fail to see what your problem is.

I run 3 clients in window mode on one monitor with no problems at all.

One top right, one centre and the last one bottom left and to switch client I just click on the corners I can see.

They are all dragged to about 2/3rds screen size.

Her "problem" is she doesn't know how to do it or how other people do it, not that she doesn't want to.

Your answer is that of an ass.

Her post is not posed as a problem. It is merely a question asking how others work around having more alts than screens.

His answer starts by stating his opinion that there is in fact no problem basically switching tabs between them without the use of a third party client manager.

Your answer demonstrates that someone relieved himself in your cheerios this morning.

I find Alt-Tab does the trick.

Just make sure to use fixed window mode, rather than full screen. Then you can alt tab between windows with no problem. (and you can set them to specific screens too. just set up specific settings profiles for each screen)

Woo! CSM XI!
