U4919DW, two computer setup, PC + Apple MacBook Pro
PC connected to U4919DW DisplayPort
MacBook Pro connected to U4919DW HDMI
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse connected to the U4919DW
I want to be able to control both the PC and MacBook Pro with one keyboard and mouse. Is this possible? If so, how? I cannot seem to get this down. And have looked at the manual, but still cannot get it.

without an external graphic card, you can't get the native 5120x1440 res. there's a thread at Apples forum - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8641919
I'm sharing wireless keyboard and mouse between a PC and Mac through the U4919DW monitor. you need to connect the transmitter to the USB port on the monitor, and use the monitor as KVM. it's documented in the user manual.

I do not see any Apple specific drivers, but I found this document.
It states =
Note for Mac users:
If you are using an Intel Graphics card on your Mac, you will be able to display up to 3840x1080 resolution with the USB-C connection to the Dell U4919DW monitor.
For a higher resolution of 5120x1440 with the USB-C connection, use a Mac with a non-Intel discrete graphics card (NVIDIA or AMD).
So that tells us that your MacBook Pro must connect using its TB3 out to the U4919DW USB Type-C port to get the higher resolutions. Not sure what resolution you will get using the HDMI. Then the Windows PC would connect to the U4919DW DisplayPort.
I don't think that it is possible to share a wireless keyboard mouse transmitter between to different systems.
