Description yamiyukisenpai 2022-03-07 22:51:24 UTC 
SUMMARY
When I connect my laptop to my monitor, I sometimes prefer to have the external monitor become the primary (and shutting the laptop's screen).  Problem is that doing so forces the dock I already set for external monitors to still remain.  I'd like for Latte to be able to disable the secondary dock(s), and preferably, switch with the primary if the laptop screen becomes secondary.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Kubuntu 21.10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is primarily useful for laptops setups.
By extension, I'd like the ability for docks that aren't being used in primary monitors to be automatically applied to all secondary/external monitors when plugged in. Or even the default setup being to copy the current docks and panels to secondary if there isn't any.

nope, it was working like this in the past and was creating plenty of issues.

You can always use Activities and Different layouts on different activities in order to provide something workable for you.

That's a shame.  My quick tests shows me that Plasma panels supports that, so I think I'm gonna have to go back to using Panels on my laptop.

Of course use whatever you want but plasma panels do not support it as you say. What plasma panels and latte panels support is that panels that belong to primary screen always follow the current primary screen. Panels that are set in explicit screens are always shown if their screen is active.
