PapuchoX2X commented 1 month ago

I paste the code in ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc in line 26 '''

change these values according to your system

# you can use `xrandr -q` to get the names of monitors
INTERNAL_MONITOR="eDP"
EXTERNAL_MONITOR="HDMI-A-0"
if [[ $(xrandr -q | grep "${EXTERNAL_MONITOR} connected") ]]; then
    bspc monitor "$EXTERNAL_MONITOR" -d '' '' '' ''
    bspc monitor "$INTERNAL_MONITOR" -d '' '' '' ''
    bspc wm -O "$EXTERNAL_MONITOR" "$INTERNAL_MONITOR"
else
    bspc monitor "$INTERNAL_MONITOR" -d '' '' '' '' '' '' '' ''
fi

I don't know if this helps you, but I did it this way... and then with xrandr I defined the positions of the monitors, however, every time I turn it on I start autorandr to get the configuration I made with the correct guidelines.
