Hyprmoncfg: A TUI Tool Revolutionizing Multi‑Monitor Management on Hyprland
Hyprland users looking for a streamlined way to configure multi‑monitor setups now have a powerful new ally: hyprmoncfg. This terminal‑based UI (TUI) tool addresses the shortcomings of existing solutions by offering a spatial editor, safe‑apply with automatic revert, workspace‑aware planning, and seamless integration with dotfiles.
Unlike graphical utilities such as Monique, HyprDynamicMonitors, or kanshi, hyprmoncfg lets you visualize monitor layouts directly in the terminal, drag and drop screens, and preview changes before applying them. If something goes wrong, the tool automatically rolls back to the previous configuration, ensuring you never end up with a broken display setup.
The tool also supports workspace‑specific monitor arrangements, allowing you to define different screen configurations for each Hyprland workspace. This feature is especially handy for developers who switch between coding, design, and media‑consumption environments throughout the day.
Installation is straightforward via the Arch User Repository (AUR) or by building from source. Once installed, you can launch hyprmoncfg with hyprmoncfg, edit your layout, and save the configuration directly to your ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf or any custom dotfile you prefer.
For a deeper dive into hyprmoncfg’s feature set, comparison table, and step‑by‑step setup guide, read the original announcement on Paolino’s blog. Learn more about related topics and best practices for Linux desktop customization on our site: Monitor Configuration Guides.
