Show HN: Displayplacer – macOS cmd line util to configure multi-monitor layouts

This one&#x27;s for the multi monitor devs using macOS.<p>macOS regularly forgets my pixel perfectly aligned monitor layout. I wrote displayplacer so that I could describe and apply monitor layouts (resolution&#x2F;orientation&#x2F;positioning) through the terminal. Now, upon plugging in, if my displays are all mixed up I hit a hotkey mapped through BetterTouchTool to apply a displayplacer profile.<p>Under the hood this is using Quartz Display Services to manipulate the displays. Let me know if this is useful and if there&#x27;s any feedback.
