U3419W, USB Switch shortcut, Resolution help

Hi All,

Got a few questions about my newly acquired U3419W:

- I have installed DDM on my primary laptop (Old Lenovo). I cannot install it on my secondary ( Surface Pro - it is work laptop with restrictions) - Question is  - I have set up a shortcut for USB Switch in DDM on laptop 1. The USB switches successfully from Laptop 1 to 2, but the same shortcut doesnt work from laptop 2 to 1. I assigned shortcut key on monitor to usb switch from 2 to 1, but this is tedious. Am I doing something wrong? or is there a way round this so I can use keyboard shortcuts to switch without having to reach to the monitor?

- Question 2 - On PBP side by side view, I'm getting black banding on top and bottom. I have tried playing with display setting on both but not having luck. I did notice though that when laptop 2 lid is open, it occupies more vertical space on monitor which is what I want on the monitor - Laptop 2 is Surface pro. I think closing the lids on both the laptops changes something whereby the resolution auto changes to really high. Not sure whats the best option here to use more of the monitor space

Thanks
