💅 AEROSPACE-MO...E-TO-MONITOR(1) 💅

okay so bestie, you know the AeroSpace Manual right? this is one of its pages, and it's lowkey iconic. it's called aerospace-move-node-to-monitor (yes the header abbreviates it all weird, don't worry about it ✨). buckle up 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

aerospace-move-node-to-monitor — move a window to a monitor that you pick by relative direction, by order, or by pattern 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

aerospace move-node-to-monitor [-h|--help] [--window-id <window-id>] [--focus-follows-window]
                               [--wrap-around] (left|down|up|right|next|prev)
aerospace move-node-to-monitor [-h|--help] [--window-id <window-id>] [--focus-follows-window]
                               [--fail-if-noop] [--] <monitor-pattern>...

two whole modes, pick your fighter 💖 (and yes, the second one has that lone -- in there, it's literally part of the synopsis, keep it fr fr)

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

Move window to monitor targeted by relative direction, by order, or by pattern 💅

that's it. that's the whole vibe. your window, some monitor, and you deciding which one. no cap. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — print help. the "what does anything do" button 🫶
  • --wrap-around — makes wrap-around movement possible, so you can keep going and loop right back around 🔁
  • --focus-follows-window — makes sure the window in question actually receives focus after being moved. it's a shortcut for manually running aerospace-workspace/aerospace-focus after move-node-to-monitor executes successfully ✨
  • --fail-if-noop — exits with a non-zero code if you try to move a window to the monitor it already belongs to 🙈 like, nothing happened, so it complains
  • --window-id <window-id> — act on the window you specify instead of the focused window. this flag takes precedence over the AEROSPACE_WINDOW_ID and AEROSPACE_WORKSPACE environment variables 👑 (flag wins, always)

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • (left|down|up|right) — move the window to the monitor in that direction, relative to the focused monitor 🧭
  • (next|prev) — move the window to the next/prev monitor in the order they appear in the tray icon 🌈
  • <monitor-pattern>... — find the first matching monitor and move the window there. multiple monitor patterns is useful when you have different monitor configurations ✨ monitor patterns follow the same format as in the workspace-to-monitor-force-assignment config option 💖
