Q: Is it possible after switching mac to external display mode for macbook also automatically switch keyboard, mouse and built-in mac camera input from mac to macbook?

Manual keyboard and mouse reconnection is not very convenient.

 

Using macbook keyboard while looking at 27' mac display is not very convenient also. Often it is desirable to close macbook lid, so macbook's keyboard is inaccessible.

 

Using two keyboards and two mouses on one table is nothing but compromise.

 

I wish it was possible to switch keyboard, mouse and built-in camera from mac to macbook by cmd+f2. Unfortunately this is not the way it works. Is there any similar way to achieve reconnection of input/output devices over thunderbolt cable?

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), null
