You might use ⇧⌘4 (Save picture of selected area as a file) and just drag the selection around one display.
screencapture -m only captures the main display:
-m Only capture the main monitor, undefined if -i is set.
I don't know if -S supposed to capture the display of the selected window, but options like -Sw or -SW only seemed to capture the ...

My current setup is now to run Windows in VMWare as I get the two external monitors and my laptop monitor to work in Windows, which is fantastic.
So I am now very happy :)
Cheers,

I'm guessing the 2nd display is not an Apple display.
I believe what is happening is that the display is, in fact, going to sleep, but in such a way that the Mac thinks it has been powered off.
Replacing the HDMI --> DVI converter with an Apple Thunderbolt --> DVI converter is your best bet at fixing this.

This similar question has an answer that refers to SwitchResX. The marketing information for that application says SwitchResX can let you disable an unused Display.

The Mini DisplayPort to DVI converter will only work when plugged directly into the MacBook Pro. You cannot plug it into a Thunderbolt Display for the purpose of daisy chaining. See this support article for details. Your only option of powering two displays via Thunderbolt alone is to purchase two Thunderbolt Displays.
Do you have a Retina MacBook Pro? If ...

There is no way to "virtually" disconnect a display on a Mac, like you can on Windows. The Mac needs to disconnect physically. The easiest way to do this is by purchasing an inexpensive KVM Switch, to physically switch between the Mac & PC.

In 10.6 and earlier the internal display should stay off if you:
Close the lid
Press a button or key on an external pointing device or keyboard (while the laptop is connected to an external display)
Open the lid
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131.
The behavior of clamshell mode changed in 10.7. The internal display turns back on when the lid is ...

It is possible to disable the internal display. Unfortunately this cannot be done without disabling the keyboard and trackpad as well. If you have an external keyboard and mouse this will work, however.
Shut the lid of your MacBook.
Plug your MacBook into an external power supply.
Plug your external monitor in.
Plug your keyboard and mouse in.
Press any ...

In mirroring mode, both screens need to use the same resolution. The external display probably can't support the huge 2880x1800, so it's lowering yours to match.
In System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab, uncheck the mirroring option. Then you should see two separate preferences windows, allowing you to set different resolutions for each display. ...

On my MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.3 I have a configuration file for each external display I connected to my Mac in this folder: /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays. If you can identify the file for your display from that list, try moving the file to a different folder and reconnecting your monitor. This solved an issue I was having with colours not showing ...

Yo. I've tried with every possible scenario. I found a note on Apple's site somewhere that stated that only one tb monitor is allowed for use in windows 7. So... Until they update the drivers for Win7 you can't get it working. However... If you use a TB Imac and add a second monitor to it, that does work as I have that setup at home.

The "Mini Displays" approach from Edovia appears to enable using an iPad as an external monitor (over Wifi), if your Mac runs 10.7 or later.

After experimenting with lots of hot keys (and bare with me, as this is not the most practical, but it is quick once you get the hang of it)
I am using a duel screen Imac 27inch to thunderbolt 27inch via thunderbolt connection.
ok so here is the commands....

I'm using two of these with a rMBP to cable two external non-Apple displays. I intend to buy a third monitor and cable it via the HDMI port on the right hand side.
If you have a lot of cash to spare, you can daisy chain monitors via thunderbolt. In this process you ...

Another workaround is to open Terminal and type "killall Dock" at the prompt.

You are confusing sleep and clamshell mode. Clamshell mode means using a laptop with an external display while keeping the lid closed.
Anyway, clamshell mode behaved differently in 10.6 and earlier:
Closing the lid put a laptop to sleep even when the laptop was connected to an external display
To use the laptop in clamshell mode, you had to press a key or ...

I am able to have the browser on one screen and the dev tools in another, both filling the screens, in the following steps
Open Chrome browser window on one screen
Open dev tools
Click the window icon in the bottom left corner to detach the dev tools
Drag dev tools to second screen
Use the green + button in the top left or drag the corner of the window to ...

It may be easier to use the "Sleep" option in the menu (upper, right). It sounds like the "clamshell mode" you're talking about is actually "Sleep mode" to the computer. I believe that this is the most effective way to get things into "sleep mode."
Other options:
Setup a "hot corner" that puts everything to sleep.
Use keyboard commands for sleep. ...

So, I tend to use Chrome for JavaScript app development, but since around version 15/17 (or there about), its not been possible to open the debugger console in a separate window in a two monitor development environment. Thing is, if you open Safari 6.0.4 (and maybe earlier) and you show the developer console, there is an option to 'detach into separate ...

I found an easy way around this and I hope it helps people. I tried resetting the NVRAM and it did not help. I am pretty sure it is due to flaw in the OS upgrade.
Here is the fix. Set up video so that when you move to the top left corner, the video shuts off. When you come out of sleep, if the resolution is low, move the mouse to the top left to shut ...

Eizo (Netherlands) kindly and answered by e-mail. In short:
for using this monitor with a macbook, there is no advantage using the PM200-cable compared to an Apple mini-display - DVI connector.
More in detail:
(excuse me for poor english: I used google translate)
The PM200 is a cable DisplayPort cable. By using this cable you can use the EIZO CG223W-BK to ...

Yes Stay seems to work but it cant shift windows back that have been put into full screen mode. So if you want to maintain a state of full screen items on your laptop, but positioned windows on your external monitor, then unfortunately it doesnt work..
Kind regards, Steve

That adapter will work fine. I have used the regular DVI → Composite/S-Video adapter (M9267G) many times on many different Macs.
Contrary to what has been mentioned in the comments, it is not an active adapter; it requires no external power, and PAL/NTSC resolution can be output from the iMac's graphics card. It behaves exactly as any other second screen ...

I have the same MBP. It only has a single displayport/thunderbolt output, which can drive a single monitor. The only way for it to drive multiple external displays is to use a daisy chained Thunderbolt display, or an adapter that drives multiple displays from a single input (Matrox makes one) or possibly a usb driven adapter.

You can indeed use both the HDMI and Thunderbolt ports to drive two separate monitors with a Mac Mini.
Any Mac with a Thunderbolt port can use any mini Displayport display, cable or adapter, so you're correct that the mDP to DVI adapter is what you need1. If you have a display that requires dual-link DVI (typically only monitors with resolutions higher than ...

Open the system preferences
Hold down the command and option keys while clicking the display
icon
Next locate the screen adjustments on the external monitor and you
will notice now there is an option called "Rotation".
Choose 90 Degrees and now your ...

Applications like Sidekick or ControlPlane allow you to change settings (network, desktop picture, custom terminal actions) based on location evidences (geolocation, attached devices...etc).
I'm sure you will be able to use one of those to detect you are at your desk with your 27" plugged in and run a command disabling auto-hide.
