Hi.
I have a question:
I use my macbook pro with an external 24" display as the primary screen and the builtin 15" laptop screen as secondary. My 24" display is also the main and only screen of my desktop computer. Usually I just press the "input" button in my display to switch from laptop to desktop. However Now I find myself using both computer at the same time frequently and need to switch between them rather often.
I was wondering if there is some shorcut (or some way to do it via script or something, please be specific) to "switch primary screen." for instance, lets say I am using my desktop with my 24" screen, in my laptop it will show only the secondary screen of the MBP therefore (unless I have a program there or something) I won't be able to do much (nor use both computer at the same time) so I wanted to press a shorcut or something so given the situation I can convert instantly my laptop screen into primary hence my 24" shows my desktop computer's display and my laptop shows my laptop's screen, and in case I finish working with my desktop I can go back seamlessly.
Thanks for help :)
