Hi all! I did a search but didn't find anything relevant (maybe I missed something). I have 3 displays total. Two are on my desk and part of the "Desk" profile. The other is my "TV" profile. I set up the keyboard shortcuts which works well but the inner sloth in me wonders if there's a way to automatically switch profiles based on detected outputs. For example, if I turn my TV on and switch to HDMI2 (input from my PC), it'd be great if DF could automatically switch to the TV profile and switch back if I change inputs/turn the TV off. Is that possible? I know Windows doesn't see the HDMI audio output unless it's turned on and has that input selection, so I'm hoping that's an actionable event from DF's perspective.

Thanks either way!

I don't think this is possible, as we can detect when a monitor is plugged in, but we can't always reliably detect which monitor is plugged in. Some times they just show up as a "Generic PnP Monitor."

At any rate, we'll do some investigating, and if we're able to implement something like this, I'll be sure to let you know!

Thanks for checking, Keith! Key combination shortcuts are already plenty convenient.

In case it helps, I checked devmgmt and my monitors do show up as "Generic PnP Monitor" but under Details -> Hardware Ids (or Device instance path) -> Value they have unique HWIDs & UUIDs.
