[20.04] Keyboard Shortcuts ... 2.0? (Or 1.5 at least?)

Thoughts & Feedback
,

Here's a feature that I think would bring more love from the desktop/enduser userbase and who enjoy relying on a GUI a bit too much...

Possibly everytime that I open a terminal via keyboard shortcuts' shortcut I generally wish for it to end up on the other screen. Yes, I do use 2 screens.

Hence, I think it c|would be useful if there would be another column added under "Keyboard shortcuts" one which would be "open to monitor" and then one could simply confirm on which screen does the new window needs to pop-up to.

Oh yes, I am certain that there is an obscure method for doing that right now and I am looking forward to learn it but until then I felt like posting this.

And thanks for reading.

and created a script for opening my apps i'm mostly running at startup automatically.
Devilspie is doing the workspace organisation for me.

I was searching loooong time for something like this, and i found it one day inside this community.
Since this day, i'm using it on all my computers.
