Display Input Control - Enhancement

[apmalone1983]

I am a work from home remote programmer and a gamer I have multiple displays that I use for both my work computer and gaming computer. I know much of this could be solved with a KVM switch but why when most displays have multiple ports on them. I don't always shut down one computer before switching to another meaning the auto-detect and swap doesn't always work. I have some scratch code that I built to swap my displays via hotkeys but it would be super cool to have a Streamdeck button that I can hit to swap from gaming inputs to working inputs.

Hey @apmalone1983, I briefly looked into this last month, and is definitely something I’d like to add; I think it would add a lot of value.

From my research at the time;

1. It looks possible via low-level monitor configuration endpoints, e.g. SetVCPFeature.
2. People suggest it isn’t a guarantee that all monitors support it via code. 🙈

Nonetheless, I think it’d be cool to try!

I don’t have time to implement anything at the moment, but would welcome a pull request. 🙌

Super interesting response there, I may have to do some tinkering then. Thanks.
