This has been my primary solution for months. The mouse and keyboard are connected to desktop, and laptop monitors are "above" the desktop in the settings. But really I have to physically switch the monitor inputs. Now what I need to do is combine the two tools, so when I go off the screen it switches inputs. Only issue I have with it, it seems to prevent the screen saver from kicking in, but haven't cared enough to figure out why.


clickmonitorddc - you can change the monitor input with a keyboard shortcut.


Nice, unfortunately can't get it to change anything other than my brightness and rotation. Will keep tinkering.


I think it was some internet guide, but in short: To change the monitor input source I added new hot keys like Ctrl + Shift + 1 -> "s HMDI2" CTRL + Shift + 2 -> "s DisplayPort1"
