have you tried using the "align keyboard, screens, and apps flat in front of user" hotkey? also known as double-tap B/Y on left controller

I haven't seen that ! Well, it's still useful to have that automatically happen as an option, it's confusing as a new user to have windows open far bellow or on the side barely visible around you. I coded it for myself but I share if anyone wants it

generally the user places things how they like, and that gets saved in relation to the anchor (which is in front of the user).

if you want to make it a button to do an auto-layout, that's fine, but generally there shouldn't be anything automatic that would step on the user's own layout preferences

The saving of it is broken anyways, it always have to grab it from the same spot somewhere completely else

@GK-Gaming are you using show-hide-recenter at all, or just togging overlays via the watch?

  1. use show-hide-recenter to show your set in front of you. (double-tap b/y on left controller)
  2. enter edit mode and place overlays relative to the yellow center marker
  3. while in edit mode, also verify that the Positioning of each overlay is set to Anchored. that will make them always show up relative to the center marker.

once you exit edit mode, all you'll need to do is use show-hide-recenter and everything will line up in front of you as you've set it up in edit mode.

if you need more than one layout, you can add additional sets via keyboard's hamburger menu. it's also possible to change the watch to have sets instead of individual overlays.

Thanks for the detailed explanation!
I apologize i did not explain correctly that what i meant was after every restart on wayvr.
This was when toggling via watch.
But i will make sure to use that advice thanks again!
