Windowed fullscreen mode on external monitor

[Beldoire]

I have just bought+installed the game and instead of enjoying playing this on my 1920x1080 external monitor, I have spend already 2.5 hours to figure out how to be able to play the game in a maximized (or full-screen) on the monitor that I want.

I would like to: be able to play this on my external display, keep my laptop monitor as the main monitor and (preferably) have a windowed mode which allows me to minimize the game. However right now I'd settle for full screen without minimizing on the external display...

However, whatever I tried, it does not have the desired effect:

1) Adding -popupwindow -adapter 1 to the target ksp.exe doesn't do what I hoped it would (goes back to my laptop monitor).

2) Changing the settings.cfg default resolution to the resolution of my external display appears to be overridden when starting the game with -adapter 1 (or -adapter 0, -adapter 2 for that matter). I do see it maximized in the external display at the correct resolution...but only for half a second when loading, when it goes back to 1366x768.

(If the above is for some reason not possible, I read stuff on bugs in 'Unity', please don't hesitate to confirm)

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

tldr

have you tried auto hotkey? I am having a similar setup and this works for me. I found it here a year ago or so.

you could even go a bit silly and stretch it over 2 screens.
