If you're working on a single screen, you need the following shortcut keys (think StarCraft):
- A shortcut key for every major application you use
- A shortcut key to tile the window to the LHS of the screen
- A shortcut key to tile the window to the RHS of the screen
- A shortcut key to select the window on the LHS
- A shortcut key to select the window on the RHS
If your OS doesn't support these shortcut keys, build them into it.
The thing about multiple monitors it's that it's basically just a hack to get around the fact that screens were never big enough to begin with. Trust me, once you use a truly giant screen you'll understand. I use a 34" curved screen by LG. Additionally a single screen lets you sort out your ergonomics problems more easily.
The other thing about multiple monitors is that the thought of regularly configuring them is enough to send a shiver down any experienced Linux user's spine:

- brokenmachine 10y agoHow do you set up those shortcut keys? I think I could probably set them up in KDE on Linux but no idea in any other OS or using any other WM.
- HD187123c 10y agoI use KDE. I have a more advanced version of wmctrl that does the trick. Tiling to the LHS/RHS is already built into KDE fortunately. I'm also working on improving AutoKey. Will release the source code once it's tidied up a bit. For Windows, you may be able to get a decent way through the list using AutoHotKey, it's a fairly powerful language (despite being a pretty weird one).
