Hi,
Bit of an odd one here:
I recently started using dual displays.
Running Manjaro KDE with x11 on an AMD APU.
My second display is a TV.
When I switch input on the TV to watch TV,
I have a problem where newly opened windows are placed on the TV.
(would like the windows to open on the main display)
Really looking for an option to set windows to open on screen where cursor is.
Any ideas about the above?
Thanks!
Jesse
I’m not 
% sure if it’s available on X11 but this seems pretty close to what you’re after.
System Settings → Window Management → Window Behaviour → Advanced → Window Placement → Under Mouse
I have a couple of other suggestions for window management.
There are keyboard shortcuts to move the window with focus between monitors, etc. Search for “move window” after navigating to 
System Settings → Keyboard → Shortcuts → Window Management
You can configure a “Screen Edge” to show all windows, so you can change focus to windows on the other screen and then move them with the above shortcuts (without having to switch inputs).
System Settings → Display & Monitor → Screen Edges → Click one of the buttons around the image of a monitor.
It’s also worth checking which monitor is “primary” when both displays are active. My TV (second monitor) is still seen as active even if it’s on a different input.
Please post more information about system

I suggest setting window management to click to activate your chosen window. It will still be the active window if you move your mouse to the other screen (and have not clicked anything yet). 
A shortcut key then run as a screen command will operate on that window which is still active, resizing that window, moving it, even sending it to the next screen.
ADVANCED:
It possible to combine dbus commands into clickable screen clicks to do this. I published an article on Linux Journal on how to do this. It now needs updated with Plasma 6, btw.
