Bug ID: 499861
Summary: Remember monitor geometry separately for each physical
setup
Classification: Plasma
Product: KScreen
Version: 6.2.5
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: kscreen-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: aldo-pub...@laposte.net
Target Milestone: ---
When I was using use Plasma under X11, KScreen used to be able to remember
monitor geometry separately for each physical setup. This option is not there
anymore (I think it went away when I switched do Wayland, but it could be when
I switched to Plasma 6), and I would like to have it again.
Why I want this?
- Context: I use a laptop and I frequently work in different contexts: with the
laptop alone, connected to the monitor at the office, or connected to the
monitor at home. Both external monitors have different resolutions, which
changes the global geometry (even more considering that the laptop screen is on
the left at the office, and on the right when at home). Also, I use different
scales on the laptop screen when I have it as my main monitor (and close to my
eyes) and when it is sitting on a desk, as a secondary screen, far from my
eyes.
- Usability difference: KScreen used to switch between the 3 geometries
seamlessly* when I connected or disconnected the external monitors. Now I need
to take a minute every time to set everything right.
(* more or less seamlessly, as the fact a monitor was plugged or unplugged
while the computer is sleeping was not always taken into account by KScreen.
But this is unrelated to the current issue.)
