Users can temporarily hide the content of a monitor using a predefined key combination. This can be helpful when multiple monitors are used and certain information should not be visible to others present.
The following options are provided:
Option Default keyboard shortcut
Hide display of primary monitor Ctrl > Alt > 1
Hide display of second and all other monitors Ctrl > Alt > 2
The digits 1 and 2 are fixed. The modifier keys Ctrl > Alt may be defined differently by you.

Defining alternative modifier keys

  • Next to Hide display (Keyboard shortcut), enter the desired modifier keys. For further information on how to spell the key names, see Keyboard shortcuts.
