If you place cursor on lower right corner of rightmost monitor then dock should appear. So in your three monitor image case you have above, the dock should appear in leftmost monitor if you place cursor in the lower left corner of it. If you set the dock to appear at the "Bottom" and move the cursor to the portion of the screen of any of the three monitors that is NOT shared, then the Dock should appear on that monitor. Given your three monitor setup I think you discovered a way around the vertical setup limitation I talked about earlier. I learned this from the article at all-monitors-1311709 This has been the case for quite a while - at least since Yosemite (I verified on a Yosemite two monitor setup also). If you have a vertical arrangement, selecting either "Right" or "Left" for the Dock location in the Dock System Preferences pane, and the Dock DOES NOT MOVE to the corresponding monitor edge you move the cursor to - inconsistent and a BIG BUMMER. So if you have a horizontal arrangement (which you can change in the Displays System Preferences pane), select "Bottom" for the Dock location in the Dock System Preferences pane, and if you move the cursor to the Bottom of any of the monitors the Dock should appear there in a second or two (I verified this in a two monitor setup - so hopefully OP can verify this in a three monitor setup). Unfortunately, only the horizontal Display layout and the "Bottom" Dock setting will allow the Dock to migrate to whichever screen bottom you place the cursor at (takes a second or two for the Dock to appear on the new monitor). Not sure what will happen if you form some sort of "L" shaped pattern as I only have two monitors in my setup - would guess that the rule still holds but unable to verify - perhaps OP can verify with his triple monitor setup? If you organize them vertically there are multiple "Left" and "Right" but a single bottom. Since all displays form a single virtual display surface, there is only one "Right" and one "Left" but multiple "Bottoms" if the displays are organized horizontally from left to right. I also set the “Applications” folder in the dock to display alphabetically, as a list, making it very easy to browse the App list if I can’t remember the App name.īut if you need more, Keyboard Maestro can most likely provide what you need.You can get the Dock to appear on any single monitor of a multiple monitor setup, but with a caveat. An exception to that, is one or two apps that I occasionally use, but can’t remember the name, whereas their icon is easy to remember. I put the apps I use the most on the Mac Dock, docked to the bottom of the screen, and hidden, so all it takes to display is quick sweep of my mouse to the bottom of the screen.Īpps I don’t use that much, I remove, to remove clutter. Of course, this won’t meet the needs of everyone, but the setup is very minimal, and easy to try. In most cases after I type a few characters, I can just hit RETURN.
