 icewm-menu-xrandr - IceWM menu provider for multi-monitor setup shortcuts

icewm-menu-xrandr

icewm-menu-xrandr is a helper to manage multi-screen configurations in a semi-automated way. It is a regular icewm menu generator which dynamically detects the available xrandr screens (i.e. connected monitors) and creates menu entries that call the xrandr command to setup this configuration.

Optionally, the contents of the generated configurations can be accessed on-the-fly through a "quick-switch" style menu which pops up upon pressing Super-P key binding (or a manually configured key, see icewm-keys(5) for the configuration of switchkey directive).

Instead of using the preferred mode and refresh rate of each monitor (xrandr's "--auto" option), identify and use the modes with the highest bandwidth usage (i.e. usually the ones with the highest resolution and refresh rate). This behaviour is also enabled by creating the file "$HOME/.cache/xrandrmenu.max" which would also effect the monitor quick-switch menu.

icewm-menu-xrandr had no known bugs at the time of release. Please report bugs for current versions to the source code repository at <https://github.com/bbidulock/icewm/issues>.
