More dual screen shortkeys needed

Submitted by seoman on December 30, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

When Pressing WIN-P the pop-up selection only shows up at the active screen.
But that might not be the screen were i'm located. (My screens are located in different rooms.)
So i'm am forced to press the Win-P several times.

What would be usable is showing the pop-up on both screens!

But the best solution would be that after pressing win-p you can select the setup by pressing 1-4

win-p, 1 Monitor Only
win-p, 2 clone screen
win-p, 3 extend destop
win-p, 4 projector only

This way someone could even make macro-keybindings and predict what screen will be active.

What also would be very practical is being able to give a screen setup commandline option to a short-cut.

%windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe -p4
By starting MCE the output is set to projector only
