 `desktop_spaces` reads WindowServer and sends no input. Its windows carry pid, window ID and app name but no title; `desktop_windows` rows have the same `space_ids`, plus titles and targets. A window assigned to all desktops is listed on each Space.
 
+Both `desktop_spaces` and `desktop_screen` describe each display: its `desktop_screen` index, name, whether it is the main display (index 0, which holds the menu bar and the coordinate origin), `bounds` and `visible_bounds` in global desktop points with a top-left origin, as window bounds use, `scale` (pixels per point), `pixel_width` and `pixel_height`, and `rotation` in degrees. `visible_bounds` is what is left after the menu bar and Dock, the area `desktop_maximize` fills; a display left of or above the main one has negative coordinates. `desktop_spaces` reads this without a capture, so prefer it when only the arrangement is needed.
+
 `desktop_switch_space` is foreground input. It presses Move left a space or Move right a space (Control-Left and Control-Right by default) once per step, reading the Spaces back after each, and reports `completed` only when WindowServer shows the target Space as current. Otherwise the result is `unknown` and names the Space that is current now. macOS applies those shortcuts to the display that holds the pointer or the key window, so with separate Spaces per display the switch is refused before any key unless both are on the target Space's display. `focus` in `desktop_spaces` shows where they are; use `desktop_hover` to move the pointer and `desktop_focus` to bring a window there forward. It is also refused when either shortcut is turned off or rebound to something other than an arrow key with modifiers in Keyboard Shortcuts > Mission Control.
 
 Mission Control and App Exposé are `desktop_system_key` with `control` and `up` or `down`.
