Tool for launching apps when monitor powers on?
could use the postswitch hook provided by autorandr, though this would require letting autorandr manage your display layout as well: https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr

Multiple screens with different resolutions?
autorandr worked great for me for hot plugging when I would frequently use my laptop with two external monitors.

Autorandr does run in the background as it is a daemon. For systemd integration see https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/blob/master/contrib/systemd/autorandr.service

Resolve multi-display oddities
I use autorandr (https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr) to load display configurations with a hotkey. I'm 100% sure there is a "better" way of doing so over my setup.

Tumbleweed KDE multiple monitor trouble - repeatedly resets to overlapped extended.
If your using X11, try autorandr. It's a bit clunky for me with the windows moving around after waking up but they eventually find where they're supposed to be... mostly.

Is it possible to span a desktop in multiple monitors?
I would suggest taking a look at something like autorandr to help dynamically adjust your settings when you connect/disconnect.

There's also autorandr that allows you to save monitor setups and automatically switch between them as you connect/disconnect displays

No, but you can save settings to script and run on login. Arandr does it with GUI. Autorandr automates and manages multiple setups.

- does sway have any way to have more workspaces using the numbers row on a keyboard for switching?
- How many workspaces do you usually use?
- How do i add and switch workspaces on I3?
- include conditionals
- i3 gaps titlebar + workspace
- catchall keybinding?
- the config file is missing somehow
- My ears hurt
- i3 equivalent (if possible) to KDE's "Present Windows" feature. Displays all windows (all workspaces) and you can click the one you like. If you type while in this mode, it filters the windows with matching names, making them easier to find (nice to have).
- Use the same shortcut to switch containers and workspaces?
