SUMMARY
This is related to issue https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491860

Whatever the solution KDE team would come up to that issue I would like that these options would be customizable in a way that user could name the option and set screen enable/disable, resolution, refresh rate and position.

EXPECTED RESULT
I use 3 different screen setup that I change between them that is tied to my workflow need. I have 

My use case is this:

1 FHD monitor, 1 WFHD monitor, 1 4k HDMI 2.1 TV

the TV is used for multimidia only so I only enable output for it for that use and my 2 monitors are used to work. I use 3 setups:

1- FHD and WFHD enabled, TV disabled
2- FHD and WFHD disabled, TV enabled
3- FHD and WFHD enabled, TV enabled

Doing this change manually is annoying so it would greatly help to customize the SUPER + P shortcut for my use case scenario.

Extra: Windows somewhat remember this need as primary monitor, scundary monitor and extended. It is a general solution that doen't allow customized options but at least it remembers what I used last.

Interesting idea. I can see the utility.

Thanks. I already use the projection shortcut on Windows as I described (also with SUPER + P) so having this working this way will make it actually superior to Windows solution. Please consider implementing this in the short term as this adds a lot to overhall quality of life of those who use KDE Plasma. For me that am leaving Windows behind this little thing is the utility I most miss from it (also trying to solve this I encountered a lot of people with the same problem over the years) and I see that for KDE Plasma achieving that isn't that far.
