moshen Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Display Data Channel ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_Data_Channel ) can be used to switch monitor inputs on most monitors. Discussion on AutoHotKey for automating this: https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/96884-change-monitor-input-source/ . Essentially, I want to be able to use Synergy as a true software KVM. It appears that this was brought up before here: But lacked technical detail. This problem could also be solved by a config option that runs a script on hotkey press. I've been using Synergy 1 with AutoHotKey to get this working: https://moshen.net/posts/virtual_kvm/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Booth Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 This would be the bomb! Especially if it worked with a linux host... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why not. There are plenty of linux utilities that do it, for example: http://ddccontrol.sourceforge.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totolicious Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 +1 Oh boy this would be an awesome feature. I use Synergy on 2 different computers but with the same monitor. Whenever I switch, I have to change the input manually (I know I can achieve this using scripts but I must admit that I'm lazy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
