Toggle Mirroring or Extended Desktop, Auto-Detect Displays

Leopard, Panther, TigerAdd comments

CMD+F1 : Toggle between mirroring and extended desktop modes.

CMD+F2 : Auto-detect an external display.

This is especially helpful if your built-in display stops working and you connect an external monitor, only to find yourself with an extended desktop background image!

    Doesn’t work on my desktop or laptop. Only one screen on each, but it should still engage the detect display right? 10.5.6

    I haven’t ever needed to use this feature, and it seems like there’s lots of tutorials out there on how to do it.

    I really want to know how to NOT auto-detect displays. How do I turn that feature off? At least temporarily disable it.
