I'm using two displays in portrait mode. When I'm using a diff tool (Meld in my case), I want to have the window spread over both displays, such that I see one file version on the left and the other on the right, as in this screenshot. I can drag and resize the window manually, but that's annoying over time.



Is there either a way to make Meld open like this every time, or a keyboard shortcut (or a script that can be assigned one) that does the job?

          You can do this by doing a folder comparison and keeping this open. You manually maximize this across the 2 monitors and then double-click on each difference of interest. Just make sure you close the tab after each file and not the window.
