i’ve been thinking of what the most efficient way to use your monitor or screen space is? do you usually just use windows that cover the whole screen? or how do you divide your windows and apps on the screen? do you leave for example firefox window cover the whole screen? and just alt + tab to other programs or apps?
Depends what I’m doing. I have a number of virtual displays with tiled terminals (height depending on need) for logging/code/command scenarios, and some with tiled subwindows for various programs. Typically I want everything visible on the same monitor if one thing is likely to change while I poke another (e.g. serial console & device flashing, or debug output & program input).
Separate monitors have different tasks: the laptop’s built-in is for meetings, email and calendar; the main two are for code, web & debug, and; and El Chonko is for TV/music/seminars.
