U2415, Input source shortcut keys usage?
This is embarrassing to ask, but I've used dual U2415 monitors via DVI-to-HDMI cables for years with a T435 without ever caring what or how to work the monitor "shortcut keys."
I will soon hook up a 2nd PC these monitors hoping the 2 PCs can share the 2 monitors (via switching inputs).
What I know:
In the Front Panel Controls I can push button 1 then "input source" to switch inputs. OK, easy enough though I'd prefer easier.
Also in Menu, Personalize I can set up two "shortcut keys" for switching between two particular inputs.
Questions:
1) Once set up how do I utilize these shortcut keys? (I mean, they're "shortcuts" so there's some easier/faster way to utilize them then just going back into the OSD, and going through "Input source", right?
2) I recall some angst years ago about this monitor and DP. Would HDMI inputs really be the better way to go for the 2nd PC? (seems tragically backwards somehow but I'll do it).
2 x Dell U2415, Dell T435 (Vista), & Falcon T1 (Win 11 Pro); strange bedfellows I'm aware.
Thank you

Yes, I've received FOUR of your PMs within 24 hours. Sigh, If only human tech support had the tenacious determination of their virtual counterparts. Sigh.
I just would like some help with understanding the functionality of the monitor's shortcut keys. No service requested. Don't need to hear my 7 year old monitor is out of warranty. Just help with a simple, stupid question.
