[Feature Request]: Add capability to turn off screen and set position
Hi,
First, thank you for this cool tool :)
With gnome-randr.py, i use something like this as a keyboard shortcut
# Turn off second screen when using first monitor as a TV
gnome-randr.py --output "DP-1" --auto --primary --output "DP-3" --off
# Turn on second screen when I need second screen
gnome-randr.py --output "DP-1" --auto --primary --output "DP-3" --left-of "DP-1" --auto
Is it possible to add left-of and right-of option to set the screen position and maybe the off option to turn off one screen ?
Thank U :)
Hi @bzhpwr! Glad you like it. I made this tool mostly just to learn Rust, and as I no longer have access to a working Linux install, I'm not going to be contributing more to it for the time being. If I ever decide to fix my Linux install I'll work on it again. This definitely would be a great feature to add though!
Re: the off
option, there's already an issue open for adding support (https://github.com/maxwellainatchi/gnome-randr-rust/issues/13).
Oh also, someone has a PR open (https://github.com/maxwellainatchi/gnome-randr-rust/pull/18) to set the positioning, though not quite --left-of
and --right-of
. I didn't like how it was implemented so I didn't merge it, but you're welcome to use that branch if it's helpful.
