Google Chrome SPLIT SCREEN

10 Aug 2018, 09:47

Windows 10

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to post a code that will:

1. Close all Chrome windows.
2. Open a Chrome window on my leftmost monitor (#2) and put it in the top left quadrant of the screen.
3. Open another Chrome window on my leftmost monitor (#2) and put it in the top right quadrant of the screen.

Looks like that requires an additional download which people at big companies cannot do. We have to make it work with just the basic AHK program.

Use: SysGet to get monitor info.

Use Run to start chrome and use command line switches to position the windows: (or use WinMove)
--window-position Specify the initial window position using --window-position=x,y
--window-size Specify the initial window size using --window-position=x,y

Use the monitor info to calculate the command line switches / WinMove command.

You can do it!.. If you get stuck post what you have and someone will help.

I was thinking something like this:
  • Close all instances of Chrome
    Open Chrome
    Windows Key + left arrow (possibly more than once so it goes all the way to leftmost monitor left side
    Windows Key + up arrow to place in top left quadrant
    Open new Chrome tab and split off from main Chrome window (or open new instance of Chrome)
    Select the new window
    Windows Key + left arrow until all the way left
    Windows Key + right arrow twice
    Windows Key + up arrow to place in top right quadrant of leftmost monitor
Does anyone think this would work and if so can you help me get started if I try to write it?
