Change Main Display via Keyboard Shortcut or command line in Mac OS X
Launch shell scripts via keyboard shortcut in Mac OS XKeyboard Shortcut for Mirroring Display on Mac OS XCreate global keyboard shortcut to delete entire line on MacWhat would cause ripple interference on a monitor display attached to computer via VGA?Duplicating a scaled version of one display's output on another in Windows 7Disable main mac screen to use secondary as main displayMulti-monitor set-up: Prevent OSX from changing main displays when switching HDMI inputUpgraded to Retina MacBook Pro and now text on my external display is “haloed”How can I permanently change the main display on a dual display setup in Ubuntu?PC to projector HDMI handshake issue
I am using OS X 10.11.3 (15D21) with one monitor and one projector.
Mirroring is turned off.
Mac OS X has an option to switch the main display (the display that has the upper menu) via the System Preferences, as depicted in the attached screenshot:
Basically to switch one drags the little menu bar from one side to the other.
My question is: Is there a way to accomplish this switch via the keyboard or better yet as a command from the Terminal?

My goal is to switch the "main" display (the one that has all the windows I've been working with).

What you want is to keybind that. look in the keyboard settings and under hotkeys select the display management app and set a keybinding to it and save.
