kanshi

Kanshi uses a configuration file and a list of available displays to choose the right settings for each display. It's useful if your window manager doesn't support multiple display configurations (e.g. i3/Sway).

Usage

mkdir -p ~/.config/kanshi && touch ~/.config/kanshi/config

	output VGA-1 resolution 1600x900 position 0,0
}
