![]() Use the left for docs/spreadsheets/plots, middle for the IDE, top right for monitoring/CI/market data, bottom right for terminals. Having my email always up does not help productivity, having Slack always up is even worse, i rarely look at the market data (at the moment), and CI and monitoring could be a panel icon and some notifications rather than half a screen.īut then, i find looking at the upper half of the portrait screens a bit uncomfortable, so it makes some sense to use them for information that i don't look at all the time, but is really handy to have occasional fast access to. To be honest, the density value is low this is definitely a case of screen sprawl. Quite often i split the middle landscape monitor too, with an editor in the left half and docs in the right half, or editor left and gnuplot right. It's usually the IDE or a spreadsheet in the middle, email or Slack bottom left, market data top left, monitoring/CI top right, and terminals bottom right. Two portrait, one landscape (actually all the same size, which i couldn't be bothered to do in the diagram, sorry) one window maximised on the landscape, and each portrait tiled with two windows. With Sway (i3 clone for Wayland), its handling of such a screen arrangement will be superb.) (I’m on Windows for now, but I’m planning on trying Arch Linux, which I previously used, on my Surface Book, as it’s now probably good enough to work with. ![]() Quality of window management is also going to be an important factor: of the two main OSes: Windows is good at simple window-per-screen and two-tiled-windows-per-screen arrangements macOS is fairly weak, being more inclined to manually accomplishing it. Those of us who do, certainly like the increased vertical space. ![]() (The slight off-centring of the laptop in this diagram is also curiously realistic early on, a couple of years ago, I had it centred but a few weeks ago I looked closely at where it had ended up, and found that I consistently placed the laptop definitely right of centre, and favour the right-hand monitor to the left.)Ī few others in the company use one or more vertical screens too. Referring to web pages or other documents on vertical screens is also normally better-mostly normally because they’re half the DPI of my laptop display. Most of the time I find I’m actually using at most one of the external displays, but it’s definitely still common to get practical value out of both of them. There are certain code tasks that really benefit from the increased height of vertical orientation as an example, last week I was doing some substantial rebasing, and the increased vertical height in a four-way diff was invaluable. ![]() How about two vertical monitors? I use a laptop and normally also have connected two 27″ monitors, both vertically oriented, above it. ![]()
