Ability to auto-set "Show this window on all desktops" depending on monitor #18620

@rzfzr

Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Having 2 monitors where A is primary and virtual desktops works as usual.
Monitor B is an auxiliary "sticky", where regardless of what virtual desktop A is, windows can be dragged into B, when switching virtual desktops, B does not change.
Today I can achieve this behavior by manually setting the windows on monitor B as "Show this window on all desktops"

Scenario when this would be used?

I have been unsinging the same setup for a couple of years, where main monitor utilizes virtual desktops and secondary is for chatting apps, time tracking, music, folders.

Supporting information

I did some research to find out if this was possible before opening this issue, I found that there is some interest, example:
