Open application windows in the same place consistently

Hello,
I am hoping to find out if anyone knows of a good way to convince application windows to open in the same location on the screen every time, consistently. This is, clearly, a minor problem, but perhaps you know how to do it. For example, I tend to use Safari with the window open over the entire screen, but every time I open a new window it locates itself with a couple mm between left side of the screen and left side of the Safari window, and the right side of the Safari window (the scroll bar) is partially off the screen (because the window is shifted). So every time I open a new Safari window I have to click the top bar and drag it a little bit to place it where I want it. Is there a way to "teach" Safari where I want it to open so that it will open in the same place every time? Maybe the problem is that I have a hidden dock on the left side of the screen and Safari does not want to come too close to the dock?
(I also have the same issue with Mail, because though I use that program with the application window only open over part of the total screen area it always opens in the same place on the screen which is always slightly off from where I want it to be)
Any suggestions? Thanks!!
PS I apologize if this has been posted before; I tried several searches but the only results that came up were not at all related to my actual question.

I don’t think there is a way to teach Safari not to shift the window when a new one is created. And I don’t think it is related to the position of the Dock.
I leave a few cm of space on the right side of the Safari window and have the screen filled from top to bottom with the Safari window. Then when I make a new window, it opens shifted a little to the right of the previous window, but it doesn’t put the scroll bar off the screen and because the screen is filled from top to bottom, it doesn’t shift down, just right next to the previous window.
You might try using tabs. When you click a link that you want in a new window, hold the Command key down. It will open in a new tab in the same window and you can change between the window tabs by clicking on it on the top of the window. The X on the tab will close the tab.

  • Open a window in the same place EVERY time

    I have a TextEdit document in a password protected .dmg.  When I open the document, it opens in the middle of my screen, then I drag it out of the way to the far right side of the screen.  I'd like to be able to open it on the right side of my screen from the get-go each time I open it.  Can this be done?

    Anybody care to chime in here?

    Hi Epski
    Let us know how you go as i'm having the same issue also. I upgraded to yosemite and itunes 12 at the same time and thought the OS upgrade was the issue. I downgraded back to Mavericks again (for lots of reasons i won't go in to here) thinking this would fix the problem but it didn't.
    When i play any video content from itunes 12 in full screen goes dark once the controls fade away. QT, appletv or anything else plays them perfectly, as per itunes 11!

  • How to open the numbers window in the same place?

    I like to have the Numbers window open in the same place every time (lower right hand corner of the screen), so that I can have the windows of other programs open too.  As it is, I have to move it there every time.  This isn't a big deal, I realize, but I didn't have to do that with the previous version: it always opened the window to the last place it was located when I closed the program the previous time.
    Any tips would be appreciated!

  • Open new window in the same form

    Hi
    I created a form with 6 records displayed. I have a check box for each record. I would like to select a record and make the check box checked. Once I check a checkbox I would like to automatically open a new window in the same form with further details of the checked record. Could you please help me how I could work on this.

    Dear you have to create relation between the blocks then you can achieve this like:
    1) Create two canvases in your form (canvas1 and canvas2).
    2) Create a window in your form with name Window2 now you have two windows (Window1 and Window2).
    3) now set the property 'Primary Canvas' of each window (Window1 = Canvas1, window2 = Canvas2)
    4) Now create database block of you main table with (CAT, NAME, DEPT) fields and select the Canvas1 in the layout wizard.
    5) Create another database block with same table but this time select only 3 fields (CAT,SAL, DATE) and at the time of creation mention relation between blocks in the Data block wizard (block1.cat = block2.cat) and select the Canvas2 in the layout wizard.
    6) Now create check box field name MASTER_CHBOX in first block and set Database Item property no of this check box item and set the Value When Checked property to Y and N for Value When unChecked.
    7) Create a trigger on CheckBox Item and paste below code in it.
    if :MASTER_CHBOX = 'Y' then
    show_window('WINDOW2');
    go_item('SAL');
    end if;

  • Open new window in the same Window

    Im developing a project in JavaFX where I wish to open the new window in the same window
    Here is my code :
    Stage st=(Stage)((Node)t.getSource()).getScene().getWindow();
    I tried this but its giving an exception

    It is possible to specifiy a named window instead of _blank.
    So you could use the following instead:
    web.show_document('html/hello.htm','my_window');
    where my_window can be anything you want to call that browser window.
    However, I have discovered that if you put this in a button trigger, the second time you press the button (if the window is still open) it will not take focus - ie. it remains in the background.
    You can get around this by closing the window if it is already open:
    web.show_document('html/close.htm','my_window');
    web.show_document('html/hello.htm','my_window');
    The close.htm needs to contain some javascript to close the window:
    <html>
    <body onload="closeit()">
    <script>
    function closeit()
    window.opener = top;
    window.close();
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>
    Apparently XP SP2 is a little stricter with javascript and may not allow this. Also, not sure if this works in all browsers, I only tried IE6.

  • Can you open multiple windows of the same Keynote presentation?

    Like you can in PPT, where you can go Window > New Window, and see more than one slide at once of the same presentation in the large view. If there is any way to view more than one slide at time, in the large view, please let me know.
    I know about Light Table, and that's useful but I really want to be able to open multiple instances of the same presentation like I could in ppt.

    Thanks, I will. It seems like such an obvious thing, yet I could not find anyone referencing it anywhere. I thought I was the only one who used ppt (or now keynote) that way. Otherwise it is awesome, so much better than PPT.

  • Need to Open Two Windows at the same time

    Hi All ,
    I have a requirement wherein I am opening a new page when the user presses a link . The information displayed to the user in the new page is Read-Only.To display the reqd info on the new page I pass some parameters encoded in the page call URL.
    Besides , displaying the info in the new page , it is imperative that i allow the user to continue performing some transactions in the current page (calling page).
    However , i am not able to achieve the same . If I use 'retainAM=Y' in the URL then i pass the Session Control from the calling page to the called page . So that option is out.
    Can u suggest something wherein i am able to pop-up a new page to the user , but still not loose the session control from the current page.
    It is necessary that the user has both windows open to perform the transactions.
    Thanks
    Chirag

    Senthil
    I need to clarify some things . I cannot create an OA Function as you have earlier advised . Lets say its a constraint i have. My scenario is that i have to prepare a HyperLink Declaratively . In that i am currently giving _Blank as the target .
    Now i want to open the new page and still allow the user to perform some transactions in the original page while the new page is still open . How should i go abt maintaining my AM from original page.
    Following are the scenarios i have already tried out.
    1) I have opened the the new page and released my application module in that page . This didnt work .
    2) I have tried doing retainAM=N . This also does not work.
    3) Using PopUp is not an option since i cant create OAFunction .
    Are their any other way . When i open a new window thru a current window , my AM gets transferred to the new window . Hence i am not able to perform any transactions on that the original page . How can u release the AM On click of a link ?
    Pls Suggest
    Thanks

  • Firefox opens duplicate windows performing the same actions microseconds apart. I noticed it because videos had an echo. Then I made an online donation--triggered 2 email confirms and 2 charges to my credit card. Help?

    This has been going on for a week or two.

    Does this still happen if you restart Firefox in safe mode? For instructions, see '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''.

  • Open/run Multiple Windows of the same VI

    Hi!
    In my current project I would like to have the user open multiple windows of the same VI.  I've made a re-entrant VI:
    This is, currently, a very simple VI that just has a numeric control, a loop, and a stop button.  I then have a VI that calls the re-entrant VI.  I'd like it so that each time the user presses the "Call Re-Entrant VI" button, a new window of this VI is spawned and run.
    The first time the button is pressed, the re-entrant VI opens and runs fine. The title of the VI in the title bar is "Re-Entrant.vi:1 (clone)" (as expected).  When I try to launch another instance I get this error:
    I'm running LabVIEW 2009.
    Thanks for your time.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Here we go.  The Close Reference VI was causing my re-entrant VI to stop execution.  What do you think of this:
    This appears to work.  I'd probably want to get the path of my referenced re-entrant VI outside of my loop (since this will remain constant throughout the programs execution).  My guess is the Auto Dispose Ref feature will mean that as these windows are closed by my user, their garbage will be collected properly....?
    Thanks for your help.
    Edit: how odd that my Error Cluster constant in the VI Snippet wasn't saved to the image properly.

  • Multiple windows of the same class with a different argument

    Suppose I have a main window with a list of users. If I click on any one user, the "chat window" should open with the argument as that "user".
    If i click on another, a similar "chat window" should open but with a different user.
    I can't have so many stages because I don't know how many users are there.

  • How can I make different windows of the same application I have open remain on their respective desktops/spaces after reboot?

    Hi all,
    I use the same applications for work, entertainment and other personal activities, so it's impossible to simply assign different apps to different desktops/spaces. Thus, I have open windows of the same programs (Pages, TextEdit, Preview) arranged on several desktops. If I reboot my laptop, the windows are just crammed on Desktop 1. Can something be done about it?

    Barney,
    many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
    Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
    btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
    I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
    Thanks,
    equi
