## Mirrored displays
If you want to mirror a display, add a `,mirror,[NAME]` at the end of the monitor
rule, examples:
```
monitor=DP-3,1920x1080@60,0x0,1,mirror,DP-2
monitor=,preferred,auto,1,mirror,DP-1
```
Please remember that mirroring displays will not "re-render" everything for your
second monitor, so if mirroring a 1080p screen onto a 4K one, the resolution will
still be 1080p on the 4K display. This also means squishing and stretching
will occur on non-matching resolutions.

`0x0` and the mirrored one on `0x0` as well.
That creates an issue though, as the mirrored output also *has* to have an
active workspace, and usually will be annoyingly taking 2,3 etc, while making
them unreachable. An easy fix is to assign e.g.
`workspace=MIRROREDSCREEN,name:unused` and never use it.
### How heavy is this?
Not that much heavier than Xorg. If you want maximum performance, consider
