Hi all, We'd love to get WebKit's position on the new Multi-Screen Window Placement API.
The proposal is to make incremental improvements to existing screen information and window placement APIs, allowing web applications to be intentional about the experiences they offer to users of multi-screen devices. We'd like to make it simple to: - detect when screen properties changes - discover the presence of extended screen areas - request extended screen information - place a window on a specific screen - show a window fullscreen on a specific screen This is useful for applications like the following: - a slideshow app shows slides full-screen on a projector, while displaying speaker notes on a laptop - a creativity app pops up secondary windows, like palettes, on a separate screen - a videoconferencing app shows video on a large screen, and controls on a smaller screen - a medical app shows images on multiple displays - a financial app shows dashboards on multiple monitors Future work could involve support for foldable devices, showing a window that spans multiple screens, etc. For more details, please see these links: - Explainer: https://github.com/webscreens/window-placement/blob/main/EXPLAINER.md - Draft Community Group Report: https://webscreens.github.io/window-placement/ - Additional ideas: https://github.com/webscreens/window-placement/blob/main/additional_explorations.md Thanks for your feedback on this! All best, Ben
