Disable shift hotkeys

jiridj · 02-25-2026, 11:41 AM

In the 15.x display link software there are no advanced settings. How can I disable (or reassign) the hotkey for switching computers? Double-shift just happens too often for me without actually wanting to switch

Hi jiridj,

Is your dock a KVM product? DisplayLink SW doesn't manage switching between computers, therefore I would check support of the manufacturer of your dock. On top of that, you can always remap keys on macOS using a third party solution like Karabiner-Elements or Keyboard Maestro.

Yes, it's a Startech USB-C KVM

Thanks for clarification. So I suggest as before to use any of the key mapping tools which hopefully will do the trick.
