## How can I force cables standalone to open on a specific display
15+
16+
To start cables standalone on the first external, any specified display or a certain screen offset, use the following
17+
command line arguments.
18+
19+
- `--screen=external` Open cables on first external display
20+
- `--screen="Built-in Retina Display` Open standalone on display named "Built-in Retina Display"
21+
- `--screen=1` Open standalone on second display (numbering starts at 0)
22+
- `--screen=200,200` Open standalone on current display 200px from the top left and 200px from the left
23+
24+
This can be combined with the above arguments for presentation mode to always open on a specific display when running
25+
"on premise" and is handy for startup-scripts. Whenever a display is not found or an argument is not understood, cables
26+
will fall back to the current display with the current window settings.
