[Feature Request] Multiple output configurations? #33

Closed ret2src closed 8 months ago

ret2src commented 8 months ago

First of all, thank you for this amazing tool! It really makes my life a lot easier (or at least faster) when working in Sway!

I am regularly working with multiple different setups, depending on where I am:

Unfortunately, I always have to set up my monitor layout from start after I've switched locations, which is kind of annoying.

Is there any way to remember various configurations and apply them automatically based on the detected external monitors (or lack thereof)? As far as I can remember, KDE Plasma did this automatically, so there should be way to do this in other environments as well.

One solution I can think of immediately would be a Rofi-based switcher that loads the respective output configuration file in Sway. However, there might be a better and more automated solution?

Hi,

It would be damned difficult to add support for multiple configurations to this certain tool. What you're looking for is kanshi.
