Switch primary monitor

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
First, I want to say that I love your program. I went from getting no use out of my remote to using it all the time once I bought Remote Buddy. Thanks!

Second, a question--is it possible to create an action that toggles the primary monitor back and forth? I use two monitors with an extended desktop, and whenever I watch anything with Front Row, I like to have it show up on my big external monitor (as opposed to my small laptop), which currently requires fiddling with the System Preferences each time. I'd like to be able to hold down a button on my remote and have the primary monitor switch automatically. Is this possible?

In the Remote Buddy preferences, if I go to Menu/Screen Setting, it seems to list the option, "Main screen to '[external monitor name]'" but I can't seem to do anything with it and it doesn't seem to be available as a behavior to map to any of the buttons. Also, under "Available Behaviors" on the webpage, it seems to list this as a capability under "System Tools." It seems like the program must be capable of doing it, but I can't figure out how. Sorry if I'm missing anything obvious, as I'm fairly new to the program.

Thanks for the help!
