Config

You can create a config file called .config in the $HOME/dotfiles directory to change the parameters of some scripts

The possible values are:

# Save a configuration with autorandr --save <name>
# To reload manually use autorandr --change
# But the scripts should automatically do this
INTERNAL_MONITOR=""
EXTERNAL_MONITOR=""
