[xubuntu-users] Monitor switching hotkey?

[Subhadip Ghosh]

In my case, it does not ask for the confirmation. It simply takes the 
last used configuration from - extend, duplicate, projector only and 
laptop only whenever I connect an external monitor or projector to my 
laptop. And on my Dell laptop, Fn + F8 is the key combination for 
changing display setting.

Subhadip
