  It's the same, except instead of turning your head to see the other monitor, have your fingers, which are presumably already on the keyboard, hit ctrl-alt-direction. Just needs one really good monitor. Requires no special monitor mounts. Has worked this well for 15 solid years. 15 years! You could have been doing what you do now, but slightly better, 15 years ago.

    So at the moment I am working on one screen while on the other I have my perforce instance syncing the whole repo - I want to start something as soon as that sync is done. Right now I can tell when it's done because the sync window is in my peripheral vision, on the other monitor. In your setup I would need to switch between workspaces every 30 seconds to see if it's done - how is that not giving you a headache? Also - one monitor runs my application, while another feeds me the console output - switching workspaces to see both? Looks like a lot of hassle. And monitors are cheap - if I had more space on my desk I would be super happy to have 3+ monitors,but I have to work with only 3 at once.

      I switch back and forth pretty quickly - the screens just flick left or right. Every 10-ish seconds, for just a second, if I care about something going on in the other workspace. Switching is faster on linux than on other systems I expect.
