Swap Screen. Exchanges the content of the primary monitor with the secondary monitor using a configurable hotkey. This function is used when applications do not respond well to dragging between monitors or when the user needs to quickly switch the focus of work without moving windows manually.
Cursor movement restrictions (Lock/Sticky cursor). Controls cursor behavior across monitors. The cursor can be locked to a specific monitor to prevent accidental movement to other screens, or a resistance (sticky) setting can be applied so that crossing monitor boundaries requires a firmer movement or a modifier key.
Move window to next/previous monitor. Moves the active window to the adjacent monitor with a customizable keyboard shortcut. The function preserves the relative size of the window and its position within the new screen, allowing rapid reorganization of the workspace without using the mouse.
Align window to grid zones. Divides each monitor into a configurable grid and allows sending the active window to one of those predefined zones using hotkeys. This function facilitates the arrangement of multiple windows without manual resizing and repositioning.
Magic Words (Application Launcher). A text‑based quick launcher system. The user defines keywords (for example, "calc" for the calculator) associated with executables, batch files, or internal program commands. When the magic word is typed in any application and the assigned hotkey is pressed, Dual Monitor Tools executes the corresponding action.
Screen capture with display on secondary monitor. Captures the primary screen and displays it in real time on the secondary monitor. This function is used for presentations, content monitoring, or process supervision without requiring additional capture or screen duplication software.
Dual Wallpaper. A standalone utility for managing desktop backgrounds on systems with two or more monitors. It allows stretching a single image across all monitors, setting different images for each screen, applying fit options (fill, center, tile), and rotating wallpapers based on custom timers.
Snap window to edges and other windows. When moving a window, it automatically snaps to monitor edges or to the edges of other windows. This function assists in precise alignment of adjacent windows without overlaps or gaps, improving the visual organization of the desktop.
Disable screen saver per monitor. Allows disabling the screen saver or display sleep on specific monitors while keeping it active on others. This function is particularly useful when one monitor must remain always visible (for example, for supervision) while other monitors enter power‑saving modes.
Rotate screen. Through configurable keyboard shortcuts, rotates the orientation of any monitor (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) without accessing the operating system display panel. The function retains resolution and scaling settings after the orientation change.
Toggle primary monitor. Switches which of the connected monitors acts as the primary display with a predefined hotkey. When the primary monitor is toggled, the taskbar and virtual desktops are reassigned to the new primary monitor without requiring application restarts.
Window management across virtual desktops. Allows moving windows between Windows virtual desktops (when supported by the operating system) and sending specific windows to designated monitors, maintaining workspace organization regardless of the active virtual desktop.

The development history of Dual Monitor Tools dates back to 2008, when the primary developer started the project as a set of personal utilities to manage his own multi‑monitor configuration. Over time, the project grew through community contributions and maintained a development model based on stable releases published on SourceForge. The software is written primarily in C# and .NET Framework, with some components implemented in C++ for low‑level functions such as cursor control and screen capture.
