Mac Shortcut for Screen Output?

Post by Rainschn »

I'm not a newbie to Resolume but to Mac. And on Windwos the Shortcuts to get the Output on the second screen Ctrl Shift 1, 2, or D are working fine.
On Mac these are CMD Shift @ and CMD Shift D and nothing else. Thats ok so far. But when i 'played' i found out that CMD Shift and 1 displays the content on the first (and Resolume Program) screen.
And now finally my real problem: the shortcut for getting the output on the second screen doesn't work!
And that's what i do not understand so far. I tried to press CMD (which ist the apple-key or however i have to call that) shift and L (where the @ should be on a mac) and as well i tried CMD Shift Alt L and Q (where the @ is on Windows machines) and all combinations i could find in my mind. Now i restarted the computer, made a screenshot and everything else but nothing happened on the second screen until i feed my mouse and it klicks for me in the menu and 'bites' the second output.
What can be wrong?
I don't like mouses so much. I prefer my fingers to safe money in feeding mouses. ;-)

The shortcuts are exactly the same.

It's just that on a Mac, it shows the key with the Shift modifier already applied ( you get @ by holding down Shift and pressing 2, on most keyboards ).

Hm, so pressing CMD+Shift+1 shows the output on the Resolume-Workplace (that's not what i anybody wants), CMD+Shift+2 does nothing, CMD+SHift+D switches Off the Resolute Output on the second screen.
The only way to get the video running on the right and second output screen is to use the mouse.
That's what happens on my very very new 6 weeks old Mac Mini.
BTW: I'm using Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite). But on my second 1 year old Mac Mini happens the same. He has Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks) on it.

So you're saying that pressing CMD-Shift-2 doesn't do anything, but clicking on Output->Fullscreen->Display 2 does work?

Hmmm. I think this has to do with your German keyboard layout. When I switch keyboard layouts, I get the same behaviour. In that case, CMD-Shift-Alt-L does flash the Output menu, but doesn't turn on the screen.

I think you're going to have to deal with clicking the menu option on Mac.

You could also try using the int'l keyboard feature which is available on both Mac and PC. Since you can easily switch between keyboards, that might work for your workflow.

Yes, good idea, but as far as i know and as i found out, it doesn't help to Change the keys for activating the Outputs.
