Allow ordering and labeling screens on X11 #42

Open DASPRiD opened 1 month ago

DASPRiD commented 1 month ago

Currently screens are displayed in their port order on X11, which does not necessarily match their real order. It'd be great if there was a config (file) option to define their order, and potentially also give the screens custom labels.

There is no standard to screen names in xorg, some DEs expose the connector name (DP-2), some expose the number (Screen 1), some don't expose a name at all.

All we have is the 0-based index of the screen, which will change when you plug in a new screen or unplug an existing one, breaking any index-based mapping.

Would it be possible to sort by the screen position, since we do have the offsets?
