On Ubuntu 16.04 with the default desktop environment, pressing FN+F7 on my laptop keyboard enables the use of my attached VGA monitor - I can cycle between having the desktop mirrored, laptop display only, and external display only.



Using i3wm, this functionality does not work.



xev shows me that FN+F7 maps to XF86WakeUp, but what shell command(s) would I have to bind to get this functionality working?
