Save Custom Application/Screen Arrangements and Layouts per Screen #1309

Open rbutera opened 2 years ago

rbutera commented 2 years ago

Whenever I restart my computer, there's always a song and dance I have to go through:

  1. launch the applications I need
  2. set the window layout for each monitor
  3. move the applications to the monitors I want them
  4. assign the main windows for each monitor

I can automate 1, but 2, 3 and 4 are a waste of time that I should be able to automate, but I have yet to find a solution that plays nicely with amethyst

If Amethyst had support for 2,3, and 4 by default then that would make me very happy, but alternatively if anyone in the Amethyst community knows of a solution to speed up those workflows that plays nicely with Amethyst's tiling - please share!

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yes this would be so awesome. Esp. since this use case doesn't only occur after a reboot but also when dis-/connecting external screens.

I quite often switch between mobile only and two external screens. That transition always completely scrambles my layout.

Have you found a workaround to this problem?

+1 I work with a main monitor and a second one in portrait mode. Would love for the 'second screen' to always default to row layout (or any other layout of my choosing)

Looking to be able to specify default layouts for screens and desktops. For instance my main desktop is always floating but I have other column or row layouts as the default elsewhere.
