I have to switch between my MacBook display and TV pretty regularly, would be nice to not have to go into preferences. 

is it possible to have an option to enable the menu on both screens even without video mirroring on? 
this way i can turn mirroring on or off from which screen i am sitting in front of. 
my imac is feeding a TV in another room and i swap mirroring depending on whicg screen i am using. 

thanks for your post.

Your idea is pretty good IMO, so I've added this to the ToDo list.

that's an interesting idea.

Since the menu is a true NSView though and not rendered as an image 
in a frame buffer at this stage, this would have a major performance 
impact and be certainly pretty complicated to implement given Remote 
Buddy's current structure (which, as such, is incredibly flexible, 
but not in this point ;-).

Could Remote Buddy be made to switch between the available displays when you first bring it up?

For example, with a dual-screen setup, you start Remote Buddy by *holding* the menu button instead of just clicking it. The RB menu appears on the main display for a couple of seconds, then moves to the second display, and continues back-and-forth while you hold the remote's menu button. When you release the menu button, RB will use that display for the rest of the session.

This would work very well for me as I often have to change the display setting between my computer screen and the TV in a second room. With automatic switching, I could just hold the button until the menu shows up on the right display.

Great product, by the way! I like it so much I've bought it only three days into my trial period.

thanks for the encouraging feedback! :-)

I do fear, though, that the feature you request is too specific as it 
is. The menu button, when held in the menu, already has a function 
assigned to it and the number of available buttons on the Apple 
Remote is too low to justify the sacrifice of more than one 
possibility to invoking the menu.

However, I also have to offer a solution to you:

If you switch between your screens a lot, consider configuring your 
own custom menu. To do that, go to the Preferences, choose the "Menu" 
tab, select "James's profile" instead of the "default profile" and 
then drag the respective screen actions from the left to a position 
of your liking into the menu. If you use it often, this could f.ex. 
be the top level. Since, inside the menu, a long press on left will 
bring you to the main level, you can then access this functionality 
very quickly in the menu, no matter where in the menu you currently are.

Hope that helps.

Best regards, 
Felix
