Hey everyone!

I’m playing with my first PS plugin and I wanted to use some of the Windows \> Arrange options (specifically “New Window from” and then “2-tile vertically”), but I can’t find a way to do so.

I thought I could use core.performMenuCommand, but I can’t figure out what commandID matches those menu options. Is there a list of all commandIDs somewhere?

On a more general note, I can’t find any API to manipulate windows and workspace elements (position and size), is this out of scope of PS plugins?

Cheers,  
Max

You can do this with Batchplay and menuItemClass.  
(_There is no option 2 Tile Vertically (At least on my system), so this ex demonstrates 2 Up Vertical._)  
Check the below code:

```auto
const {executeAsModal} = require("photoshop").core;
const {batchPlay} = require("photoshop").action;

async function actionCommands2UpVertical() {
   const result = await batchPlay(
      [
         {
            _obj: "select",
            _target: [
               {
                  _ref: "menuItemClass",
                  _enum: "menuItemType",
                  _value: "2upVertical"
               }
            ],
            _options: {
               dialogOptions: "dontDisplay"
            }
         }
      ],
      {}
   );
}

export default async function runModalFunctionResetView() {
   await executeAsModal(actionCommands2UpVertical, {"commandName": "Action Commands"});
}

```

You can replace any menuIem/command by converting menu item name into camelCase like 2 Up Vertical converted to 2upVertical. ( **Note - I have not tried every menuItem/Command** )
