My problem is that the windows will all default back to the laptop monitor after sleep.


Yea this is also a big problem I have. I can't stand having to reorganize my windows when I go back and forth from desk with monitor to laptop.

I want the window manager to remember where I had the window and move it back when I plug in. Now I just mirror and have a bigger monitor becaused I can't deal with that horseshit.


FWIW, I work around OS X's terrible inability to position windows correctly when adding / removing monitors with Hammerspoon, and have done for years:

I haven't really thought about it in years, and I'm so glad I took the time to write this logic up.
