How do I save my display config on KDE? (programming.dev)

And preferably run it as single.sh and dual.sh when I need whichever. It's a Wayland session.

~~(Otherwise I'd have to manually arrange them every time I plug/unplug one of them.)~~

Edit: ~~I also would like to do this without unplugging.~~ Currently, when I disable/enable a monitor, its geometry gets reset.

Edit 2: Unplugging/plugging works, no idea why it didn't work before. However I still would like to do this via scripts because setting monitor setup from super+P also resets the geometry.

Hmm, this all seems to be a work around for another issue. My computer remember the position and settings of all men screens when replugging them. It seems your system doesn't remember the display configuration.

Perhaps reach out with an issue to KDE on their issue tracker?

Correction: Unplugging/plugging works (don't know why it didn't work previously). However, enable/disable doesn't remember. When I press super+P and make the changes there it also doesn't remember when switch back to dual monitor. Is this also an issue?

Strange. It seems like a bug to me but in not involved with KDE. I would still reach out to them. Perhaps they know more at the KDE forum of how it's supposed to work.
