I always want certain apps in my smaller, right-hand display, which is off to the side, and other apps always in the main 16:9-proportioned newer, central monitor. In some cases, such as my email software, I want the window in the right-hand screen, but new messages to appear on the main screen, which also contains the default system menu bar and drives.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2990037/operating-systems/solve-mission-control-failing-to-allow-displays-as-spaces.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Can’t assign apps to specific Spaces on a multi-display Mac?
