What do you think about using the ESC-key to toggle between the monitors?
AVID use the ESC-key to activate the timeline, for example.

Also it would be helpful to make it more distinct which monitor is active.

I have 2.13 and it works fine.

works fine :-)

This is easy to use with english keyboard layout, but not on german keyboards, because germans have to press 'Alt GR + 8' and 'ALT GR + 9' (I'm not sure, but 'Alt GR' must be the Meta key in linux world, right?)
Maybe it is better to use the I and O key just like most other NLE's too?

Both functions are useful in my opinion.
So there should be a pause and a stop action in the end.
