    How can I make a window open on the same display as the dock I use to open it??

    I feel like I'm missing something obvious here. I don't know why it's not default behavior to open a window on the same display you click to open it.

    Which USB-C / TB dock with charging?

    I'm looking for a relatively simple dock for my MBP14, which has enough USB-C ports for 2 external SSDs and 1 mouse, and can charge my Macbook via a single USB-C cable.
