The hardest part is defining which is my "main computer". I have eight computers I use regularly; two personal (desktop/laptop), two in my office (unclassified/classified), and four workstations which are mostly front ends to clusters of servers. Seven of these have one monitor (ranging from SXGA to 4k), but I think I spend more hours on the one with two monitors in my office than on any one of the others, so I went with that. If I based this on how much processing gets done, it would be one of the frontends.

I use two computers, each with 2 monitors. The monitors are arranged in 2x2 grid. I have one pair of mouse and keyboard shared between the two PCs through the synergy application.

Interesting. My Dell U3219Q monitor has that capability, to connect a keyboard and mouse to operate two PCs, though I haven't tested that yet. I opt to using 1 PC that has access to different virtual machines.

Twice the monitors, double the fall.

Have any other multi-monitor users had this problem? Sometimes I have multiple releases of Matlab running with the editor windows undocked from the command windows so that monitor 2 has two editor windows and monitor 1 has two command windows. The top of the command window clearly indicates the Matlab release but the undocked editor window does not. With multiple releases of Matlab running simultaneously, it's easy to lose track of which editor window corresponds to each command window and release. For example, I could step through an m-file in debug mode while watching for a specific output in the command window but I miss it and have to repeat the process because I was looking at the wrong command window. Or perhaps execution pauses at a conditional breakpoint in one editor window but I don't know which running release to go to without looking at execution status.

It would be nice if the editor also included the release version as the command window does at the top, left so it's easier to pair multi-windows between releases.
