macOS 10.15 Said to Feature 'Luna Display-Like' Desktop Extension Functionality

macOS 10.15 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macos-10-15/) will have a new feature that allows users to send any window of any app to an external display, according to 9to5Mac (https://9to5mac.com/2019/04/16/mac-ipad-display-feature/)'s Guilherme Rambo. The external display can supposedly be a monitor connected to the Mac or even an iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/).

The report claims this functionality will be accessible via a new menu that can be opened by hovering over the green "maximize" button in a Mac app window for a split second. The menu is expected to provide options for making windows full-screen, tiling windows, and moving windows to external displays.





The feature, codenamed "Sidecar," is said to be similar to the Luna Display (https://lunadisplay.com/) hardware solution that turns an <!---->iPad<!----> into a second display for the Mac.

Users with an <!---->iPad<!----> that supports Apple Pencil (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-pencil/) will be able to draw with the Pencil when the <!---->iPad<!----> is being used as an external display for the Mac, effectively "turning the <!---->iPad<!----> into a Wacom-like tablet," according to the report.





The report claims Apple is also working on options that will allow windows to be easily snapped to one side of the screen.
