Mastering the Mac Mirror Display Keyboard Shortcut

The standard keyboard shortcut to mirror your Mac’s display is Command (⌘) + F1.

  • How it works:
    • Press and hold the Command (⌘) key and then press the F1 key simultaneously.
    • This shortcut should toggle between your Mac’s display being mirrored on the external display and the default display configuration (extended desktop).
