Q: Ho can I switch iMac Target Display Mode without having to always use Command + F2?

I am using my MBP 13 as my daily driver at work, and I am using an iMac (initially, the daily driver) as secondary display. I do use the MBP to go to meetings and, basically, expand my mobility at work (which is the reason why I got the laptop in the first place).

 

Here is my question, how can I optimize the setup so I don't have to use Command + F2 on the iMac every time I want to extend the displays for the MBP when I plug it in?

 

Thanks for the help.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), iMac: 27-inc, late 2013, OS X Capit
