How to Use Assignee with a MacBook + External Monitor Setup

Using an external monitor makes multitasking easier—but it also makes switching harder.

You’ve got windows spread everywhere. You forget which app is where.


Assignee Fixes This

  • Map specific windows to shortcuts
  • Even if they’re on different screens
  • Jump without dragging or realigning

Example Setup

  • Ctrl + Tab, 1 -> Browser (main screen)
  • Ctrl + Tab, 2 -> Code (MacBook screen)
  • Ctrl + Tab, 3 -> Design tools (monitor)
  • Ctrl + Tab, 4 -> Slack or Docs

Final Thought

The more space you have, the more organized you need to be. Assignee turns screen sprawl into shortcut simplicity.
