Is there a way to give a key combination to open monitor profiles and select one just with clicks? i know i can give combinations for each profile but this means i have 4 different shortcuts.
Something like Win+P default windows command (the problem with this command is that it shows only on one monitor and i need it on both

A different solution would be without shortcuts
I see i can set left click on "enable next monitor profile" but i have 2 that i rarely use and i want them out of rotation. Main 2 profiles i use everyday so i would use the click to alternate these 2 profiles but the other 2 still have to exists.

There's a script in our repository you can download (DisplayFusion Settings > Functions > Scripted Function > Download Scripted Function) called "Select Monitor Profile From Drop-Down List" that should do this for you.

It's a start. the onoly thing that is better compared to Win+P is that it pops up in the middle of the screen
But i really don't like i have to select the profile from a drop down menu. it adds 2 additional clicks. (open menu, and then click OK)

Can i edit the script so that it shows the profiles all together and i just have click one of them to activate it?

Replacing line 8 with this code will do that for you:

Code
Copy
Select All

string selectedMonitorProfile = BFS.Dialog.GetUserInputListViewWithFilter("Please select monitor profile:", BFS.DisplayFusion.GetMonitorProfiles());

Nice
is it possible to have it on all monitors even if they are not cloned?
Sometimes i forget to change the profile before going to a different room and if the popup is only on main monitor i can't see it.

That's not possible, but we have a "Move all windows to current monitor" function that you can attach a hotkey to if you would like to use it to pull the window over.

it could be useful. thanks

I noticed 2 more things.
The first is not so important. i'll tell later.

The second could be complicate but also important to me. It's long to explain but in reality it's very fast to reproduce but (if you want to try) you have to download the software that is in conflict with the script

I'm using ATNSOFT Key Manager to add commands to long pressed buttons and i put this script (Ctrl Alt D) on long press F5
F5 refreshes pages on browsers
if i use F5 (tap), everything is OK. If i use Ctrl Alt D it works the first time, then (after choosing the profile i want) if i both use F5 or Ctrl Alt D, neither is working. If i do it again, they work. So i can say the first command after using the shortcut to the menu doesn't work. i thought it was a sort of a conflict with all DisplayFusion but then i assigned Ctrl Alt D to "next monitor profile" and in this case i didn't have any issue after using it. everything works. i also tried other commands like Ctrl C but those are outside Displayfusion and they all worked. The only one that is causing the problem is the one i assing to this script.

Maybe you don't even need to use Key Manager because the key is to understand why the script has issues and default DisplayFusion hotkeys don't. Maybe something can already come into your mind

Hey
i found out that it's not necessary to have it on all monitors because the popup appears when the cursor is!

i was wondering if it's possible to edit the script so that it doesn't show the current profile. Since i use it when i want to change. it's not necessarry for current profile be there.

Hi!!
After the last update the script doesn't work anymore. at least the part that should remove the current monitor from the list.

The script is this

Code
Copy
Select All

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        // Grab the current monitor profile
        string currentProfile = BFS.DisplayFusion.GetCurrentMonitorProfile();
        
        // Get all the profile names
        string[] profiles = BFS.DisplayFusion.GetMonitorProfiles();
        
        // Filter the current monitor profile out of the array
        profiles = profiles.Where(item => item != currentProfile).ToArray();
        
        // Ask to select a monitor profile
        string selected = BFS.Dialog.GetUserInputList("Please select monitor profile:", profiles);
        
        // If nothing was selected, exit the script
        if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(selected))
            return;
        
        // Change the monitor profile
        BFS.DisplayFusion.LoadMonitorProfileHideErrors(selected);
    }
}
