Configure Main Window Position on Multi-Screen Setup

[BennoCrafter]

The application currently opens on the primary monitor by default. In a multi-monitor setup, it would be useful to allow users to configure where the main window should appear (for example like in raycast on the active monitor)

In next version it will be possible to reposition window on macOS by dragging it. But currently window position is not saved to be used after restart

So it would stay at that position? And why can’t it be saved?

Yes, until restart

And why can’t it be saved?

It can, but not implemented yet

Also dragging only works on macOS right now

Would be specifying one screen/monitor be possible? I mean possible, not implemented? Couldn’t find anything to this type.

In ideal world we could have following options:

• primary monitor
• active monitor
• mouse monitor
• specific selected monitor
• use previously saved position which is set by dragging.

On Wayland only specific selected monitor is possible.
Dragging is currently only supported on macOS, for X11 and Windows it might be possible but may require additional effort.
All other cases should be possible

But each of those is an additional effort to implement (each case and each os) and I am for sure would not be able to implement them myself because of diminishing returns

I'd love to see active screen or mouse pointer :) With one of those multi screen setup would work without problems

Partially done in c492d26. Currently there are 2 settings "Static" (window always opens in the same location) and "Active Monitor" (window opens on current active monitor) and only macOS is supported. On macos window can be dragged and position will be saved and used after restart.
