Position window

Problem: when opening a terminal window via script, I would like it to be positioned on a specific monitor, at a specific size.

Steps to Find Your Monitor’s Coordinates:

1. Open Script Editor on macOS and run the following AppleScript to get the current window’s bounds:

tell application "Terminal"
    get bounds of front window
end tell

This will return {x1, y1, x2, y2}, representing the position and size.

1. Move the Terminal window to the desired monitor and rerun the script. Note the coordinates.

Updated Script to Open Terminal on a Specific Monitor:

Modify the set bounds values based on your preferred monitor:

#!/bin/bash
osascript -e '
tell application "Terminal"
    do script "source /Users/nic/Dropbox/Notes/venv/bin/activate && python3 /Users/nic/Dropbox/Notes/generate_email_fu.py"
    set bounds of front window to {-1920, 100, 0, 1180} -- Example for a second monitor on the left
    activate
end tell'
