I have a bash alias mapped to a single letter, and when I connect my macbook to the various three desks with multiple monitors, I can cmd-tab to the iterm window, open a new tab, type the alias, and it will infer which desk I plugged into and fix my monitors. Left, middle, right rotated. Etc.

I need this

I wont give the script since it's only for my monitors and layout, but the nugget is using displayplacer and invoking the static, complicated command with a wrapper.

It's pretty easy to set up, the instructions in the README show how to get the bash command you need. https://github.com/jakehilborn/displayplacer
