Run the user's script when you attach the monitor. When you detached your laptop from the monitor, then attached it again, you no longer need to manually move your workspaces to the monitor if you will make a simple script like in example.sh and setup it up with this program.
Install this software and run with a path to the bash script as an argument.
It will listen to Hyprland's monitoradded event and run your script when you have attached a monitor.
Your bash script may do any tasks your want, for example, move workspaces to the attached monitor, set wallpapers, change bar configuration. See example.sh and wiki.
