JMoveIt Helps Solve Common Multi-Monitor Issue

JMoveIt (Just Move It) is a versatile utility specifically created to address two common issues encountered with multi-monitor setups. It effectively manages program resizing when programs are moved between monitors, as well as preventing unintended program movements caused by changes in a monitor's power state. This tool enhances the user experience by ensuring that applications maintain their intended dimensions and positions across various displays.

Portable Utility with Install Option Included

When closed, it keeps running in the background to do its job and can be easily accessed via the system tray area, without interfering with your work. You can also opt to install JMoveIt if preferred, this option is included in the archive

How JMoveIt Works

JMoveIt detects the foreground application and its title, as well as the UAC status, and reveals the current position of the selected window (e.g., if the window is on the left screen, JMoveIt displays its position and allows moving it to the right monitor). With a click of a button, JMoveIt can move the selected window to the next monitor, without you having to do it manually or use the Win+Shift+[Left/Right] key combination.

Monitor Watcher Feature

JMoveIt also includes Monitor Watcher, which keeps a close eye on the power state of the connected monitors, detecting when they are powered off or enter sleep mode, so it can restore the original positions of running applications on the right monitor.

JMoveIt Features:

● command line options to move programs
● global hotkeys for moving programs
● automatic Monitor state watching

You can also bring off-screen apps back using keyboard shortcuts or by enabling the "Remember window locations" function in the Windows 11 display settings. Should you not need this feature, you can disable it from the right-click menu in the tray area.
