Method 2:

printf "REGEDIT4\n[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\\\Explorer]\n\"Desktop\"=\"Default\"\n[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\\\Explorer\Desktops]\n\"Default\"=\"1920x1080\"\n[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\\X11 Driver]\n\"GrabFullscreen\"=\"N\"" >> temp.reg && find -name "pfx" | xargs readlink -f | xargs -I{} env WINEPREFIX={} regedit temp.reg && rm temp.regThis will change/add the registry keys needed to enable virtual desktop and disable mouse grabbing for all currently installed Proton prefixes (if you install any game later on you have to rerun those commands. Two important notes: This will create a temporary file called temp.reg and removes the file afterwards. If you already have a filled called that in the directory you're running those commands from it will overwrite and delete that file! Another thing is that mouse grabbing may actually be desired for some games since those may not work without that feature (which is the reason mouse grabbing was enabled by default). In that case you can use those commands which do the same as the ones above just without disabling mouse grabbing:
printf "REGEDIT4\n[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\\\Explorer]\n\"Desktop\"=\"Default\"\n[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\\\Explorer\Desktops]\n\"Default\"=\"1920x1080\"" >> temp.reg && find -name "pfx" | xargs readlink -f | xargs -I{} env WINEPREFIX={} regedit temp.reg && rm temp.regRunning winecfg or regedit in a Proton prefix is not officially supported and winecfg/regedit initializes some stuff when run in one. While I did test several games after using it I can not promise that it won't cause unexpected behavior.
I'm a beginner when it comes to bash so if you have any suggestions please tell me :)
Also if you have any questions ask away.
PS: I give absolutely no warranty for doing any of the things I mentioned. Never run any commands you don't understand especially if you found them on the internet.

Doing this will most likely update the wineprefix for a game to the version of Wine on your system. A much better way is to just use Proton to run winecfg or regedt:
Just use
.../steamapps/common/Proton 3.7 Beta/dist/bin/wine winecfginstead.
You can also use this path with the WINE environment variable if you need to run winetricks for a proton prefix.

export SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0into
/etc/environmentfor example.multimonitor mouse grab, most games offer mouse release when bringing up the menu (escape menu), but some that don't i usually just switch workspace to chat on my other monitor, so i dont need to alt+tab then.

I already had SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS set to zero and while it works with most native games it doesn't work with proton.

hmm, i remember reading that proton is using SDL. Anyway i have yet to see a game in proton that minimizes when i go into my other monitor. Played: GTA V, DOOM, The Forest, Bioshock 2 Remastered, SCUM, Kingdom Come, Dishonored, Alan Wake, Trackmania 2, Mirrors Edge just to name few. Maybe im lucky then with the games i have played.
