Changing input source on a dell sceen using a keyboard shortcut (stupid subject line limit) At my workplace I have dell u2410 minotor. It is always connected to my workstation through the display port and sometimes also to my laptop through vga. Is there any way to setup a keyboard shortcut which would change between the input signal of the monitor such that I can switch between workstation and laptop without having to press countless times on the actual monitor? In the options of there is a possibility to assign shortcut keys but I don't know whether this is shortcuts using the buttons on the monitor or they have some keyboard combination as well. Hopefully some know of a good method. Having to press the monitor all the time is damn anoying. Thanks in advance
