CLUSTER MONITOR-MOVES-ACTIVE · 18 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2015-09-09

Multi-monitor window movement tools

This cluster consists of small X11/Linux desktop utilities that move, place, or duplicate windows across multiple monitors, often keyed to mouse position or window-manager rules. The dated history before the index start is sparse and irregular, with single entries in 2015, two in 2020, and one each in 2022, 2023, and 2026, showing no sustained momentum. Traction leaders all have zero stars: x11-multimonitor-center, squint, and move-to-previous-monitor, indicating minimal user adoption across the cluster.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 18 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
