Screenswitch for Linux

Screenswitch is a completely free, simple, and open-source command-line utility implemented in Python. It is designed to allow users of a GNU/Linux operating system to easily and quickly switch between multiple LCD devices connected to their computers. This versatile CLI tool is ideal for those with a multi-monitor configuration who need to toggle between various displays, such as LCD monitors.

Key Features:

• Free to use


• Designed for GNU/Linux

Specifications:

• Platform: GNU/Linux

The Screenswitch tool automatically switches to another monitor upon executing the command from the shell. If all connected monitors are disabled, it will enable one of them, ensuring seamless operation in various configurations.

To use Screenswitch on your GNU/Linux system, download the latest release from Softpedia or the project's website. Save the archive in your Home directory, extract its contents using an archive manager utility, and open a Terminal app. Navigate to the extracted file location in the terminal and run the 'python screenswitch.py' command (after installing the python-xrandr module) to start using the utility.
