Feature: Set DDC input Source on Lid Open/Close #1385

It would be great if it was possible to change monitor inputs on the lid opening and closing.

As an example my monitor DELL UW3818 acts a kvm and I want to switch to my laptop when the lid is closed and switch to my work laptop when the lid is open:

Something like this: Open lid action: Set DDC input Source = HDMI1 Close lid action: Set DDC input Source = USB-C / TB 3

I could add a feature that associates the appearance of a display in the layout (for example the built-in display) with a switch of input on an other display.
