Input Selector

This is a work in progress, and is very specific to my setup at this time.

I wanted to add a drop-down selector to my menu bar in order to switch inputs on one or all of my displays. I found out that my displays support DDC commands, so this just wraps some command-line tools into a menu bar app.

Prerequisites

• xbar
• ddcctl
• edid-decode
• wakeonlan

Installation

1. Clone this repository

    $ git clone git@github.com:cjohara/input-selector.git
    $ cd input-selector/
   

2. Copy input-selector.sh to xbar's plugin folder. NOTE: You can change how often the plugin detects your connected displays by changing the 1m to a different interval. See xbar's configure refresh time documentation.

    $ cp xbar/plugins/input-selector.sh ~/Libraries/Application\ Support/xbar/plugins/input-selector.1m.sh
   

3. Refresh xbar plugins
