How to set up a shortcut to toggle on/off the display panel?
My old laptop Asus K53SD has a very interesting shortcut. When I press Fn + F7, it turns off the display but the computer keeps running i.e. it won't log out, lock, shut down or go to sleep mode. I can press any keyboard/mouse key or move the mouse around but the screen remains off. Only when I press Fn + F7 again will the display turn back on. Description from the manual:
Is it possible to simulate this behavior in other computers? I want to set up a keyboard shortcut that will turn off the display but everything will keep running in the background and I want it so that only the shortcut can turn the display back on. Some software I found enables me to use shortcuts to turn off the display but moving the mouse or pressing any mouse/keyboard key will turn the screen back on.LCD Icon (F7): Toggles the display panel ON and OFF. (On certain models; stretches the screen area to fill the entire display when using low resolution modes.)
