Horizontal Split View on Portrait Oriented Monitors

This seems like a basic thing, but shouldn't the OS detect that a monitor is in a portrait orientation, and offer to stack the windows in Split View vs. place them side by side? Maybe this can find its way to the team responsible and find its way into a future version.

Cursor wrap around monitor edges? I have been using the Wraparound app to allow my cursor to go off the right side of multi-monitors and come around to the left side of the left monitor. Since this app is not being developed anymore, although it still works on Ventura, I was wondering why Apple hasn't built this into its display system. Or have they? If they have, how does it work? I know any multi-monitor setup can be arranged in the display setting and the cursor will move between the connected edges. Is there something I am missing about wrapping around the outside edges? Is it possible without the help of Wraparound? Do users not what to have this ability? It's too handy to not have this ability. I spend too much time researching this every 6 months or so to try and see if this is part of the macOS yet. Any help and understanding would be awesome. It seems such a simple hack that Apple would add it without a thought. Thanks

Does M2 mac mini support portrait mode. I have an adjustable monitor that can rotate 90 degrees. Does the baseline M2 support vertical displays?

Can Any Monitor Be Used In Portrait Mode? I have a Dell display (s2421nx, 24-inch, 1920x1080) that I'd like to use as a second monitor for the Mac Studio I just ordered, but I'd like to use it rotated to portrait mode. This particular display does not support portrait (pivot) according to Dell, and the stand it comes with does not pivot. I was wondering if MacOS, or the Mac Studio, support rotating a display (other than the Studio Display). Or if there is a 3rd party solution. Is this a possibility?

I don't think anybody in charge knows anything other than the accolades of Shortscreen Monitors! ;)

I have my doubts about what trickles up, but...

Possibly... ;) Seems like an oversight and an easy fix as well.
