Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

It'd be great if we could set one of the key binds to switch between GPU Modes. I primarily use Eco and Ultimate, and it'd be great if I could map this to my aura key and use that to switch between the iGPU and the dGPU.

Describe the solution you'd like

Have an option in Custom Keymaps to map one of the keys to be able to switch between GPU Modes

Describe alternatives you've considered

@IncognitoFawkes hello, this is already possible for Standard and Eco. For Ultimate you still need to confirm a reboot and actually reboot after, so hotkey won't work here.

Ctrl + Shift + Alt + F14 - Eco GPU Mode Ctrl + Shift + Alt + F15- Standard GPU Mode

If you want to bind one of macro keys to this actions, you just need to set them to emit this custom hotkey as explained here

For example custom action for Eco hotkey would be : 0x11 0x12 0xA0 0x7D
