Spreadsheet "breaks" Apple Vision Pro eye-tracking

We had an excess of monitors at work at one point.. so I don't have to imagine.

I made a challenge of setting up as many as my computer could handle. Ended up with 5 monitors.

I found I could only use two actively (I guess that would be one now that I have an ultrawide), and a third passively (music player, maybe CI status).

I have to agree to the sentiment many here have: a big monitor is nice, but other than that there's much more to gain by being efficient at using virtual desktops (can recommend virtual desktop autohotkey script)

I think there’s something to the virtual screens beyond just a larger active workspace.

One of my favorite setups had a small dedicated screen for email and IM. Being able to look away and have all my existing work in the same place was mentally easier to deal with than swapping one of the screens briefly.

Might have something to do with the doorway effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doorway_effect

I find several virtual desktop autohotkey scripts. Which one do you recomnend? Can you achieve same with PowerToys?
