Niri Monitors - Mange Connected Monitors

🚀 Excited to share something I've been building: Niri Monitors — an extension for Vicinae that lets you manage your connected displays right from the launcher.

Turn monitors on/off, switch resolutions, adjust scale, and rotate a display — all from a single command. Built specifically for the Niri window manager.

Here's what it can do:

Display Overview — See every connected monitor at a glance: model, resolution, refresh rate, rotation, and scale.
Quick Actions — Make quick, one-off changes that apply immediately without touching config, and reset on restart.
Persistent Settings — Save settings that persist across restarts, written directly to your niri config.
Keyboard-Driven — Dedicated shortcuts for every single action.
Display Safety — Built-in safeguard that stops you from accidentally disabling your only active screen.
Utilities — Power off all monitors or copy monitor details (name, model, resolution, etc.) in a single click.

If you're on Niri and juggle multiple displays, this should save you a lot of clicks.

Would love your feedback if you try it out!
