Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
I have multiple monitors (2, in fact).
With fs-sreen=1, when I open MPV on second screen, and go to fullscreen, MPV opens up on first screen (as expected).
After I exit fullscreen, MPV stays on first screen.
I'd like it to go on second screen because that's where it was before.
Alternative behaviour
I understand that not everyone might want that, so it might be optional, only when screen=N is set.
Additional information
I use KDE Plasma (5.26 atm) and run MPV under KWin Wayland session.
I don't know if it already works like this and this is only the issue for this environment. In that case it's less broad feature request or even bug report I guess.

Research direction
Start by tracing mpv's fullscreen and screen=N handling under KDE Plasma/KWin Wayland. Reproduce the two-monitor scenario, then determine how the original screen is tracked across fullscreen exit. Done means mpv returns to the screen where it was opened, while preserving the optional screen=N behavior.
