I'm running a media center in a secondary monitor at times and I want to be able to bind a hotkey with my remote to disable the primary monitor to save energy/prevent glare, etc.
My point is I'd like to request a new action/hotkey that would toggle disabling and enabling the primary monitor. This new action would complement the already existing 'disable or enable secondary monitors' action.
Cheers for reading, Matt

This won't work, the primary monitor can't be disabled, but you could set the secondary as primary, then disable the original primary monitor.
You could do this with a display profile, UltraMon menu > Display Profiles, then use an 'Apply display profile' hotkey to apply the profile.

Thanks for your reply.
In the end I created two profiles. The first being my original setup with both monitors enabled. Then the second with the original primary now switched to secondary and then subsequently disabled. I then call these profiles using my remote software and use a parameter to remember which was pressed last so that the same button can be used as a toggle.
Thanks for the inspiration - I hadn't thought of doing it like that!
Cheers, Matt
