Change macOS display arrangement through command line / applescript?












0















I have a 3 display setup at work with the following order (from left to right):




  • MB Pro Retina 15" / internal

  • Lenovo 23" / external

  • Lenovo 23" / external


macOS Version: 10.13.6



Most likely when I reboot, the order is gone and I have to reset it through System Preferences -> Display -> Arrangement



Is there a way to change the arrangement through command-line or applescript?

  • I believe this is possible to do with AppleScriptObjC/JXA, but as I only have the one display, I've no means of testing.
