I'm using a laptop with Ubuntu 22.04. I must re-arrange the screen layout whenever I connect a new external monitor.

Is it possible to have a "default" layout where any new screen I connect to will use my layout instead?

Ps. This is not reproducible when connecting to a screen I have previously connected to and already set up. It's only new screens.
_{I move a lot around the office, connecting to different screens, which is very common for me.}

No, this is not possible. In Xorg, something could be set up with devilspie. – vanadium Dec 05 '22 at 15:16
@vanadium That is dissapointing – Dan Dec 06 '22 at 09:53
Perhaps a combination of make mirroring displays the default in gnome and How to change display's position from command line? could work? – BeastOfCaerbannog Dec 07 '22 at 20:20
