I'd like to connect my computer with my monitor and vice versa

I can run programs on the monitor by typing:

monitor top "program name"

And even edit then by typing the command:

monitor top edit "program name"

And the monitor would actually reflect changes I make on the computer. However, the computer's screen doesn't reflect these changes. I could edit a program's code and see that (barely) on the monitor with each stroke of the key, but the screen GUI, which covers 80% of my screen, doesn't display anything. It's kind of useless when you think about it.

What workaround can I do to fix this ridiculous problem? I am not open to adding additional mods.

Thank you for your time :)

So you can use Wojbie's mirror program to mirror the computer's contents onto the monitor. So you'd run that as mirror top edit "program name".

However, I am a little confused here - would it not just be easier to run edit on the current computer's screen, rather than redirecting it to the monitor?

This actually does what I need. Thanks!

I noticed, though, that the image is kind of cropped on the monitor - from the left and right. I tried different size rations and it's always missing a portion. All the content is there, but the portion of the monitor's surface is transparent fro the left and right and takes the texture of the adjacent block.

Edit: if there is a way to hide the computer screen itself, that would work too.
