Wayfire's outputs are supposed to be independent, so this is by design. It will get possible to do that in an external plugin easily enough soon. Of course, you'll also have to figure out how to deal with plugins like Expo and Vswitch when windows can be on multiple outputs at the same time.

Let's leave this open until Wayfire's core supports this in a sensible way.

Not sure this is related but I cannot get presenter applications like pdfpc to display the presenter screen on a different monitor. It will always only use one monitor.
