I was tired of using `arandr` to manually configure my monitor positions, so I encoded the settings in Elisp in the `display.el` module. TL;DR: - Drop support for `position` kwarg in `display-register` macro - Support `coords` kwarg in `display-register`. - `defconst` the `xrandr` arguments and command in `display-register`. - Define `display-arrangement` macro that consumes the `xrandr` arguments that `display-register` defines to create an interactive function, `display-arrange-<NAME>`, which -- when invoked -- runs one xrandr command to configure a display "arrangement".
