Move window to new monitor then maximize moves window back to old monitor

When I use a shortcut to move a window (using either Menubar-Item: Window;Move to Built-in Retina Display or Move/Resize: 1 screen left/right), then use another shortcut to resize the window (using Move/Resize), it moves the window back to the previous monitor to do the resize. How can I stop that?

which action a have you tried for resizing?

Custom Move / Resize Window.

I have 3 shortcuts that use "Custom Move / Resize Window" but they all move the window back to the previous monitor. If I use the first shortcut to move the window to the next monitor, then use the mouse to move it just a bit, then use a resize window shortcut, it does not move it back to the previous monitor.

can you post a screenshot of the custom move/resize configuration?

I was wrong, these shortcuts I have to resize the window apparently always bring the window back to the main display. How do I get them to use the display that the window is currently using?

Make sure to select "window display" here (or don't change the x / y):

Would probably be a good idea for me to make this the default for this action.

Oh, I see. I didn't complete the line. TY, that works.

Out of curiousity, are the actions documented somewhere? When I search the documentation for moving and resizing, I see Window Moving and Resizing · GitBook but I don't see anything for the "Custom Move / Resize Window" action specifically. There are so many actions in BTT and it's hard to know what they do without some documentation. I suspect it is documented but I haven't found it yet.

I think there is no documentation for this one. I'm currently working on some sort of action overview that will describe every action available.
