Three monitors with one central in landscape remains the best layout.
- enriquto 5y agoI have the opposite setup: three monitors but the central one is vertical. The central monitor is where the actual fucking happens. It only has a glorious 80x80 xterm with a large font.
- bloopernova 5y agoI've found I like P-L-L Leftmost monitor is portrait, the other 2 landscape. Command line and documents on the portrait monitor. Editing/browsing in the centre. Mail and Teams on the rightmost landscape monitor, with browsing often moved there too.
- mgaunard 5y agoMy workflow is: - text editor with two columns in the middle - terminal with two colums on the right, left is git, right is build - terminal on the left for connecting to production, investigating things, and manual testing I also have a web browser (which contains chat and email) in the middle that I can swap to, but that means no coding. I've heard that a lot of people like to have a browser to look at documentation at the same time as they code, but I haven't really found this useful, in large part because most of the code I work with has no documentation (the code itself is the documentation).
- bentcorner 5y agoOnly issue with portrait mode is that some monitors have bad vertical viewing angles so when they're in portrait it can be hard to see if you're off-center even by a little.
