      Is there a way to define a home location for the cursor and have a key combination to send it there?

      source
      • OwOarchist@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        xdotool mousemove 0 0

        Replace the 0 0 with your desired coordinates if you don’t want the ‘home location’ to be at the top left.

        Then use xbindkeys to bind your desired key combination to run that command.

      Needs a log scale x-axis

      source
      • ThePyroPython@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yeah and the wild thing is that the importance axis is cut-off, by the time it reaches 10+ screens that’s the single most important employee who if they were runover by a bus tomorrow, the company will just randomly implode one day when something only they know how to maintain just falls over and no contractor can untangle the spaghetti infrastructure.

        The thing is, they haven’t had a pay rise since screen 6 but somehow are just unphased even by inflation.

      nope. you just need to adjust a few things. 2 monitors for corporate serfs (rename middle management to serfs) and 4+ for corporate slaves. upper management gets a laptop and a normal monitor. executives can stay the same. CEO needs 2 phones.

        Despite the moving itself sucking, that’s a rad looking setup. I mean, it would suck to use for actual work, but its cool as hell.

      IDK but I’ve seen pics of 911 operator setups with some absurd number of screens and I bet there’s a lot of stuff that would be useful for them to have open.

      source
      • Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Makes sense yeah. I guess at this point it’s a monitoring station more than a computer, i.e the operator is not gonna have many interactions with it other than looking at the screens

      • philpo@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yeah, but not that many.

        Usual setup nowadays: One monitor for the main CAD (computer aided dispatch) forms, one for map overview, eventually a third one for a unit overview(theye are often done on the map monitor these days), one for external data (browser window, video feeds,etc.), one below as a touchscreen for communication control (VoIP/Radio).

        Most EMS Dispatch clients I have switched to a three+one touch setup ages by now and rather use a central dashboard for some less important views and feeds.

      I have a friend who works for Transpower (company in charge of NZ electric grid) and occasionally goes into their control rooms. Apparently they have set ups like this. It gets worse, because there are several computers hooked up to the different monitors, so not only do they have a wall of monitors, they have a bunch of different keyboards and mice (mouses?) that they have to hunt through if they want to actually interact with something

      source
      • kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        They need to invest in some KVM switches. Just leave the monitors connected directly to the towers but route the input devices through the switch. There’s no good reason for a single person to face more than one keyboard and mouse at the same desk.

      I’ve seen stock traders where everyone on the floor had half that many. A few of them had 9.

      When they’re looking up trades or news, they open a ridiculous number of windows while doing research.

      They have 4 screens just to watch the markets and handle in-house controls.

      What’s striking about this is the amount of whitespace on the screens. They are only using 1/2 - 1/4 of their screen space.

      source
    • Skunk@jlai.lu ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I work in ATC and we have several desks with around 12 to 18 screens. Not in that layout tho, but on a much larger banana form.

      They are used at different work positions, mostly for monitoring but also used with keyboard and mouse.

      The applications goes from technical surveillance of ops systems, to flow capacity (airspace capacity), meteo broadcast for all airports (ATIS) or ground-ground telecommunications of aeronautical data.

      When you have that many monitors they’re literally just monitoring. 15 FPS is fine for that.

        Or it was until it got bumped. And then trying to adjust it back bumps another one. And so on. Then you think you have it right, sit down, and realize shit’s not level anymore.

        And then a year later one of the panels dies, and you get handed a replacement with the same screen size but a different bezel size.

        The path to zero fucks given is slow but steady.

    Ah yes, Matrox’s last bastion of business: ridiculous monitor counts across 2 or 3 Matrox C680 cards.
