Since:

  1. Which Display Groups are implemented, activated, and expressed by the order of priority of each Display Group relative to other displays

  2. BetterDisplay's Virtual Screens that "Mirror via AirPlay" can provide higher (e.g. QHD) resolution to even older (e.g. FHD-only) monitors ➡️ useful for certain apps that require higher resolution than what an older monitor can provide

For complex setups (8+ displays: incl. multiple external displays, virtual displays, and using other MacBook Pros/iPads/iDevices as "Extended Displays" via AirPlay and additional displays via Universal Control/Handoff's "Link Keyboard and Mouse to"), it would be great to be able to Duplicate a Display Group since I:

  • a) Rely on "Layout Protection" to correctly enforce complex alignment between all displays when Virtual Displays are turned off
  • b) Need "Layout Protection" to correctly enforce complex alignment between all displays when Virtual Displays (with higher/different resolutions) are turned on

Thank you (and please let me know if UI Scaling or other features can solve this mis-alignment problem automatically, as I haven't been able to figure that out just yet).
