Q: Share iMac screen and keyboard with Mini?
If I get a Mac Mini, can it share the screen and keyboard from my iMac (27-inch Late 2012, 3.4 GHz, with OS X 10.11.6)? Or do I need additional hardware on my desk?
iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

I am guessing you are not going to get this to the point where you simply click a button and the keyboard and display switch between one computer and the other.
