hotkey to connect MacBook Air as second monitor

0

The hotkey (cmd + F2) works on the keyboard of iMac to connect iMac as second monitor for MacBook Air, but not otherwise round, on the keyboard for MacBook Air this hotkey does not work. Does anybody know how can I get MacBook Air as second monitor for iMac?

You can't.

Only a small subset of iMacs were ever made which could use Target Display Mode; no other Mac model is capable.

See Apple KB - Use your iMac as a display with Target Display Mode

"it does not work on MacBook Air"... Correct, it does not work on MacBook Air, or any Mac except the ones listed on that KB page. Salient part of my answer edited. – Tetsujin – 2019-05-15T07:39:52.740
