Love the utility! Been using it for a few months now. I’m curious, but is it possible to have the tool change inputs as well? For example, to change from DisplayPort to hdmi, and back from a keystroke.



Only part of that is possible, changing from the current input to another. But as soon as the monitor is on another input it doesn't accept DDC messages on the first input anymore so Lunar wouldn't also be able to change back.

I plan to implement just the first switch along with a brightness/contrast reset to some default values so you can easily switch the monitor to another input.


This rather clever cheap hardware and software KVM project is solving the issue in an interesting way, maybe a cross-polination opportunity?
