How to set up a split screen in five easy keystrokes: Preparation: make sure that you have two tabs set up with the two views you want to use. Be sure that these two tabs are next to each other. Also, because screen space gets precious when running split screen, make sure that there's nothing in your window other than the outline. If the view list or view properties are showing, hit <alt><f1> to hide it, if task properties or expanded task notes are showing hit <alt><f2> to hide it. Open the first (leftmost) tab. OK, ready? Go! 1. <f3> to create a helper screen showing the same (first) view. 2. <Windows><left arrow> to move the helper screen to the left half of your display 3. <alt><tab> to switch back to the main screen 4. <ctrl><tab> to bring up the other (next) view 5. <Windows><right arrow> to move the main screen to the right half of your display done.
I'm not a user of AHK but if you find these five keystrokes to be burdensome I've no doubt that you could use AHK to reduce it to a single keystroke. -Dwight On Monday, January 12, 2015 at 6:41:35 AM UTC-5, John Smith wrote: > > Dwight - Please can you explain how to a split screen like that? > Is this something that has to be done at the Windows level - e.g. with two > different instances of MLO running? > Is it something that I will have to set up each time I open MLO? > (Aside: Powerful tho it indisputably is, I am getting increasingly > frustrated by the time required to set things up in MLO!) > > > On 12 January 2015 at 05:10, Dwight Arthur <[email protected] > <javascript:>> wrote: > >> John, I think that you should seriously consider my suggestion to use a >> split screen with a next actions view in one side and tasks with your >> custom flag in the other side. >> -Dwight >> ps nobody can predict how long it will take MLO developers to release an >> update containing a change you have suggested.
