====== Set dual monitors ====== ==== Find your monitor names ==== swaymsg -t get_outputs You'll see names similar to: * **eDP-1** — laptop screen * **HDMI-A-1** — external monitor ==== Create two scripts ==== Laptop only — create ~/.local/bin/laptop-only: #!/bin/sh swaymsg 'output HDMI-A-1 disable' swaymsg 'output eDP-1 enable' Both monitors — create ~/.local/bin/dual-monitor: #!/bin/sh # Enable both monitors swaymsg 'output eDP-1 enable' swaymsg 'output HDMI-A-1 enable' # Laptop screen: right swaymsg 'output eDP-1 position 0 0' # Samsung monitor: left swaymsg 'output HDMI-A-1 position -2560 0' Replace the output names with yours. The 2560 position is just an example; adjust it to match your laptop screen's logical width and preferred arrangement. Make both scripts executable: chmod +x ~/.local/bin/laptop-only ~/.local/bin/dual-monitor Sway supports enabling and disabling individual outputs this way. ==== Assign shortcuts ==== Add these lines to ~/.config/sway/config: bindsym $mod+F5 exec ~/.local/bin/laptop-only bindsym $mod+F6 exec ~/.local/bin/dual-monitor Reload Sway: swaymsg reload Now you can use: * **Super + F5** — laptop screen only * **Super + F6** — laptop and external monitor
