    Would you mind sharing that script? That sounds incredibly useful lol. I’m new-ish to linux as my daily driver and love customizing it!

      of course sorry for delay.

      Requirements: wmctrl, xdotool

      My left screen is 1440p, second screen to the right is 1080 in portrait so you will have to swap the horz/vert locations to match your layout.

      #!/bin/bash
      
      # Time in seconds to wait after launch of program and manipulation of window
      timer=5
      
      # Launch FreeCAD maximized on the main screen
      freecad &
      sleep $timer  # Wait for FreeCAD to launch
      wmctrl -r "FreeCAD" -b add,maximized_vert,maximized_horz
      
      # Launch Cura on the second screen, top half
      cura &
      sleep $timer  # Wait for Cura to launch
      xdotool search --onlyvisible --name "Ultimaker Cura" windowsize 540 960 windowmove 2560 0
      
      # Launch Firefox on the second screen, bottom half
      firefox &
      sleep $timer  # Wait for Firefox to launch
      xdotool search --onlyvisible --name "Mozilla Firefox" windowsize 540 960 windowmove 2560 960
      
      echo "Applications have been launched and positioned."
