Like many others here, I've been using Windows shortcuts to move to other browser tabs/windows while nCraves requiring mouse control are running but still found it to be cumbersome while trying to actively work in a productive manner in multiple windows on two screens with one computer at the same time.
Thought I would mention this trick in case anyone out there hasn't already figured it out or is new to SB. I've only tried it in Windows 10 but believe it would work on previous versions or a Mac as well.
- Open two or more separate Chrome instances (same or different users)
- Place the nCrave window requiring the mouse on the bottom (maximize full screen)
- Tile or layer windows that you want full access to on top (recommend that you place them to the right of the check marks and counter so you can see what's going on)
This will allow you to do anything you want in the top windows while the clock is still counting down in the window below. This is especially good if you want to be able to advance a watch video after it's been checked but don't want to interrupt the nCrave.
NOTE: If you move your mouse out of these active windows to other windows that are not on top of the nCrave one, it will stop the nCrave. You have to keep the pointer somewhere in the top windows or the nCrave tab to keep if flowing. For example, I use two screens- I take one of the windows that I want to use on monitor #2 and tile it about a cm on top of the nCrave on monitor #1 and stretch it out on #2 using Windows extend display feature. That way the window is still technically on top of nCrave but 95% is showing on #2.
Hope this helps someone out there make more SB and still get a lot of work done!
