Description
Current state
The OSD is activated when:
- a second output is connected and no configuration file exists for the two outputs.
- the hardware key on laptop keyboards is pressed.
The OSD provides the following options:
- Switch to external screen
- Switch to laptop screen
- Unify outputs
- Extend to left
- Extend to right
- Leave unchanged
Problems
- The OSD also should show for workstations. The naming "Switch to laptop screen" etc. is false then.
- Currently the "Switch to laptop screen" option is disabled, but it should show when invoking the OSD via hw-key. It should not show when a new external display is connected. It doesn't make sense to connect a new display and then disable it directly - or it could if the compositor has it disabled by default. Use case: presentation on beamer, setup everything first and only then enable it.
- Only works for two displays. But at least extending left or right could be done for more displays too. Also replication could if the other displays are already in replica-mode.
