Direct Select screen placement

When Choosing virtual controls and where they go, is there going to be the option to put them on the Right Hand screen?  I've got the touchscreen as #1 on the right, but the direct selects pop up on the left screen.

In my little nook of a booth, the right screen (with the CIA) is closer to reach.

 If I put a direct select in the CIA window, that seems only temporary, since the next time I hit Display the direct select box gets overridder, and can't come back (as if it were toggled).

 Conversely, if you have two monitors, how do you have them organized? Left Right 2, 1 regular / touchscreen? channels on left, cue list on right?

I know I can swap screens, but I'd like to stay consistent.

Or am I too picky?  Be honest, I can take it ;-)

 

Thanks.

  • The [swap] key would be the way to go.  If you're really keen, you could physically move your monitors around so that they are the other way around.  That way the CIA is consistently on the left hand monitor...

    I could change the plug ins, or try the internal monitor arrangement (but I think that would muck the mouse up).

    In my operations, I don't need a full screen of cue lists, cause it's always blank.  the channels I like 1 - 200 on the left screen, but I can lose the bottom 100 channels (currently covered by the Direct Selects).  The right screen has the CIA (rarely open), adn a blank cue list.  If I [Expand], then channels 101 - 200 appear (when the Direct Selects cover them on the Left screen).

     I hit [Swap] today for tech, to put the direct selects on the right, on the touch screen, and then reverted back to the channel on the left (nearest the stage) for the show itself.
