macOS CLI tool to configure multi-display resolutions and arrangements

Re: macOS CLI tool to configure multi-display resolutions and arrangements
#32The one feature I really want for window management on macOS is the ability to split fullscreen applications horizontally, for my vertical monitor. macOS lets you split a fullscreen app vertically so you can have two on the same screen, but when a monitor is oriented vertically you can still only split the screen vertically, not horizontally. Sigh.

#33I recently launched some macOS Shortcuts in Lunar ( https://lunar.fyi/#shortcuts ) that can arrange monitors in pre-defined layouts like: 2 Screens Vertically ■̳̲ 2 Screens Horizontally ⫍⃮݄⫎⃯ 4 Screens in a 3-above-1 configuration ⫍⃮■̳̻⫎⃯ 3 Screens in a 2-above-1 configuration ⫍‗⫎ 3 Screens Horizontally ⫍⃮▬̲⫎⃯ It's not the same as DisplayPlacer but for a lot of people this could be enough. They are free and can be us…
Currently using displayplacer with BTT to make keyboard shortcuts.
When moving to different hoteling desks, sometimes the laptop is on the left of the additional monitor and other times on the right. Now I have two keybinds that orient my layout. I've used Lunar specifically for the dim below 0 functionality, (thanks for the ongoing development), I'll have to try the new shortcuts to see if they can replace displayplacer.

I think spectacle app can help. https://github.com/eczarny/spectacle

#37This hasn't been updated in a while. What I really want from this kind of tool is the ability to take a snapshot of my ALL display settings, and just click something on my desktop or bind a keyboard shortcut, or run a command which will restore it - exactly how it should be. This would include, exact screen positioning, refresh rate, resolutions etc.
I don't know what triggers it, but MacOS is really bad at changing these settings if you use multiple displays through the week (e.g. different coworking spaces).

#38I really liked the display settings built-in to MacOS, very straightforward.
Unfortunately, with Ventura, they now hid the arrangement in a separate options window that takes extra clicks to reach. A step backwards :/

Isn’t this possible with the new iOS-like split view in Ventura? Sadly not supported by many apps yet (eg VSCode).

Lunar is awesome. Just FYI there is a link in the following text which doesn't work, so i can't actually see an examples.

Is it possible to snapshot exact screen positioning using shortcuts? I'd like to take a snapshot of all my settings (orientation, refresh rate, hdr settings, and _exact_ screen positioning) and restore using a shortcut when ever it changes.
