I've found I like P-L-L

Leftmost monitor is portrait, the other 2 landscape.

Command line and documents on the portrait monitor. Editing/browsing in the centre. Mail and Teams on the rightmost landscape monitor, with browsing often moved there too.



My workflow is:

- text editor with two columns in the middle

- terminal with two colums on the right, left is git, right is build

- terminal on the left for connecting to production, investigating things, and manual testing

I also have a web browser (which contains chat and email) in the middle that I can swap to, but that means no coding.

I've heard that a lot of people like to have a browser to look at documentation at the same time as they code, but I haven't really found this useful, in large part because most of the code I work with has no documentation (the code itself is the documentation).
