Table of Contents

The %Screen% and %ScreenVisible% tokens return the frame or visible frame of the specified screen. It takes a parameter indicating which screen to use.

The parameter may be:

Index Name Description
Main or 0 the screen with the primary menu bar (as configured in the Displays preferences).
Second the first from the left which is not the Main screen.
Third the second from the left which is not the Main screen.
Internal the internal screen of the Mac.
External the first from the left which is not an internal screen.
Mouse the screen containing the mouse.
Front the screen containing (the most of) the front window.
Back the first from the left not containing (the most of) the front window.
Back2 the second left most screen not containing (the most of) the front window.
All all of the screens, from left to right, one per line.
Positive Calculation the indexed screen from left to right.
Negative Calculation the indexed screen from right to left.

So for example, %ScreenVisible%Main% gives the visible frame of the main screen.

Like all coordinates in Keyboard Maestro, the frames are from the top left corner of the main screen.
