I frequently switch my monitor setup between my desktop monitor and TV. Previously I used some xrandr scripts, but switched to Wayland some time ago. I wasn't happy with the existing replacements for Wayland so I decided to make something better for myself. I may keep adding extra features to this if I feel like it.
