Upstream describes it as essentially an XRandR-like tool for macOS, which explains its strong appeal to users who script workstation layouts. ### Projektgeschichte The GitHub repository was created in June 2015, with the first GitHub release listed as v1.0.0 in November 2018. Later releases include v1.4.0 in June 2023, when the README notes a backward-compatibility concern around changed `displayplacer list` output. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The README leads with Homebrew installation and release downloads, while the input package metadata also records MacPorts. Its adoption is tightly tied to macOS automation culture: shell scripts, hotkeys, Automator, BetterTouchTool, and repeatable monitor profiles. ### Wie es verwendet wird Users commonly run `displayplacer list` to print the current layout and supported modes, then reuse generated arguments in scripts to restore a known display arrangement. The README spends unusual space on screen ID stability because macOS can expose changing identifiers when external displays wake or reconnect. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren displayplacer is a package-nerd favorite because it fills a native-platform gap with a single CLI. It turns GUI display state into reproducible command arguments, making macOS monitor layouts manageable by dotfiles, launchers, and package-installed tooling. ### Zeitleiste - 2015-06: GitHub repository created - 2018-11: v1.0.0 release published - 2023-06: v1.4.0 release published ### Related projects - Related tools and workflows include XRandR on Linux, macOS Displays settings, Automator, BetterTouchTool, and user scripts that compensate for changing monitor identifiers. ### Quellen - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** displayplacer - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Requirements:** macos - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - MacPorts - displayplacer: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: sysutils/displayplacer/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/de/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/de/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/de/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [m1ddc](https://pkg.so/de/brew/m1ddc/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, display-management, macos, system. - [screenresolution](https://pkg.so/de/brew/screenresolution/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, display, macos, system. - [brightness](https://pkg.so/de/brew/brightness/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, display, macos, system. - [ddcctl](https://pkg.so/de/brew/ddcctl/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, macos, monitor, system. - [mole](https://pkg.so/de/brew/mole/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, macos, system. - [lima](https://pkg.so/de/brew/lima/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, macos, system. - [mas](https://pkg.so/de/brew/mas/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, macos, system. - [terminal-notifier](https://pkg.so/de/brew/terminal-notifier/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, macos, system. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
