Usage

$ monitordisplay -m Home # same as `monitordisplay -m Home -t table`

…which equals:

$ xrand \
	--output hdmi --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 \
	--output eDP1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x0 \
	--output eDP2 --off

Then you can run this command to change the applied config:

$ monitordisplay -t # -> same as `monitordisplay -m Home -t sofa`
$ monitordisplay -t # -> same as `monitordisplay -m Home -t table`
$ monitordisplay -t # -> same as `monitordisplay -m Home -t sofa`
$ monitordisplay -t sofa # -> same as `monitordisplay -m Home -t sofa`

You can disable --off with -s and you can test with the parameter -n.

$ monitordisplay -s -n -m MODE_NAME
