mac-dock-lock

AppleScript code to help lock your Mac's Dock to your main screen. This is a common issue with multiple monitors, as the Dock can sometimes appear on secondary screens or move unexpectedly.

How to Use This Script

1. Open "Script Editor" on your Mac (you can find it in Applications > Utilities or search for it using Spotlight)
2. Copy and paste the code above into a new Script Editor document
3. Save the file with a name like "LockDockToMainScreen.scpt"
4. Run the script by clicking the "Play" button in Script Editor

The script works by:

1. Determining your current Dock position and orientation settings
2. Continuously monitoring these settings
3. Resetting the Dock to your main screen whenever it detects movement

Customization Options

If you want to set a specific position for your Dock instead of using your current settings:

• Replace originalPosition with either "bottom", "left", or "right"
• Replace originalOrientation with either "start", "middle", or "end"

For example, to always keep the Dock at the bottom center of your main screen:

property originalPosition : "bottom"
property originalOrientation : "middle"
