You can get a list of output names with *swaymsg -t get\_outputs*. You may also
match any output by using the output name "\*".
+Some outputs may have different names when disconnecting and reconnecting. To
+identify these, the name can be substituted for a string consisting of the make,
+model and serial which you can get from *swaymsg -t get\_outputs*. Each value
+must be separated by one space. For example:
