Changing to project modes swiftly by pressing win+p without going through the loop
Changing to project modes swiftly by pressing win+p without going through the loop
I've been relying on the win+P key to move between "extend" and "second screen only". The extended mode has my monitors off, while second screen only shows my TV. The issue arises because Windows' project settings include four modes, and every time it switches, I have to press the shortcut again when I can't see anything, which wastes time. I'm looking for a more efficient way—perhaps a custom shortcut or command prompt that instantly launches into the desired project mode without cycling through options. Ideally, I'd like two distinct shortcuts on my Android unified remote that directly open the project I need, eliminating the need to navigate back to my PC. Any suggestions on how to achieve this? Even if it means removing other settings or using a script, I'd appreciate a solution that saves me time.
According to common understanding, DisplayFusion allows you to set up shortcut keys for monitor configurations.
I've already tried that, but it's way too many programs for what I need. It makes me feel like I'm loading unnecessary stuff just so I can change screens more easily. I was looking for something simpler, like a script or a tool that doesn't run in the background.
This feels like repeatedly pressing Win+P, which also loops through other choices independently. It takes a longer sequence of buttons, and I still can't see clear confirmation of what's happening. The problem is that these methods don’t reliably work when I’m not focused on the bedroom. If there were a command prompt or script I could use to switch to the "second screen only" mode on my phone, that would solve it.
It remains consistent, without visual verification, I'm uncertain about the correct placement or selection. Previous attempts have been made, but sometimes the wrong option appears due to lack of clear feedback. The issue arises because in my bedroom I can't see the monitors, making it hard to confirm which choices are active. I'm seeking a solution that eliminates the need to manually cycle through options, instead offering a script that instantly identifies the desired setting.
