I noticed this discussion thread was closed (nearly two years ago), but hhoeflin’s original request, nicely summarized in https://www.nomachine.com/forums/topic/multiple-monitor-support#post-7987 was not really addressed. Instead the discussion shifted to FR12K02799 which is really a different feature. In particular, it seems to address multi-monitor support for a large rectangular area, but my client-side windows are arranged in more of a side-ways “T” shape. I would also like to run in windowed mode to retain some of my client-side space for client-side window (while also having multiple server monitors).
I have been searching for a feature exactly like hhoeflin described since long-before finding the aforementioned discussion topic. Can this feature be re-evaluated for implementation? Or at least captured in it’s own feature request (which does not yet exist) for tracking?
More specifically my use case is that I run Windows to connect to a remote Linux server. My client runs windowed, and the server sizes it’s monitor to match the resolution of my client’s window using the “1:1” display option. Running NoMachine in this mode has been absolutely amazing as I can tile my client window to any resolution and everything resizes in an intuitive way. For example sometimes my client takes one half of my large landscape monitor; other times it occupies all my portrait-orientation monitor while leaving room for the windows task bar at the bottom (which I use in tandem).
However sometimes I would really like to have both of the window orientations that I mentioned above running at the same time, with NoMachine treating each window as a “1:1”-sized monitor attached to the server (within the same session). This would allow me to do things like run a text editor in one windows and a terminal in the other (yes, I know I don’t need a remote desktop for a remote terminal, but I find this more-usable). I could also then prefer to create more client windows with full-screen remote applications, in favor of tiling server-side windows within a single monitor; an advantage of this would be that (Window’s built-in) keyboard window tiling shortcuts could be used to manage what would otherwise be server-side windows, which would be a more responsive and uniform experience.
