How can I change the default layout for my displays?

I'm using a laptop with Ubuntu 22.04. I must re-arrange the screen layout whenever I connect a new external monitor.

Is it possible to have a "default" layout where any new screen I connect to will use my layout instead?

Ps. This is not reproducible when connecting to a screen I have previously connected to and already set up. It's only new screens.
I move a lot around the office, connecting to different screens, which is very common for me.

No, this is not possible. In Xorg, something could be set up with devilspie.

Perhaps a combination of [make mirroring displays the default in gnome](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1427414/make-mirroring-displays-the-default-in-gnome) and [How to change display's position from command line?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/625761/how-to-change-displays-position-from-command-line) could work?
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
