    Turn a $30 USB switch into a full-featured multi-monitor KVM switch

    I have a lo-fi version of this using a 4port usb-switcher and display-switch [0]

    The only thing you’d need to figure out is the standing desk part. My usb switch came with a wireless controller which is the main way I interact with it.

    Virtual Desktop Tools for Windows 11 and 10.

  5. espanso

    Cross-platform Text Expander written in Rust

  6. Lunar

    Intelligent adaptive brightness for your external monitors

    Maybe try my Lunar app (https://lunar.fyi/) if you’re on macOS. It can switch inputs using DDC if the monitor implements the VCP code for it, and it can assign a hotkey and a specific brightness/contrast for the input if needed: https://lunar.fyi/static/img/input-key/768_input-key.webp

    For Linux, there’s ddcutil that can do that, and for Windows there’s TwinkleTray.
