Using an iMac as a secondary screen without control F2
Hello
I have a few iMacs and I would like to know if there is a way to configure one as secondary display so that I don't have to press 'CTRL + F2' every time. Help, please.

Using an iMac with BootCamp as a screen of a Windows computer?
Hey everybody,
I was wondering if it is possible to use an iMac with BootCamp installed as a screen for a Windows laptop. If so, is there something I should know about the complexity of this solution and its sensitivity to errors etc. ?
Or, assuming that it does not work, does anyone know alternatives (Parallels very probably wouldn't be enough in my case)?
Thank you

Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!
Whether or not you can use your old iMac as secondary screen for your new iMac (known as the target Display Mode) will depend on the model. You can find information and the steps in the following article useful:

I use an iMac with a wrong as a monitor graphics card?
The graphics card on my iMac went wrong. The logic board is OK and works otherwise OK. Can I use the iMac with the graphics card bad as a second monitor in target disk Mode or use it as a monitor for a mac mini? The bad iMac is a model 2011 (of course!) with HDMI ports and Thunderbolt.
I think you mean that the Display Mode target and any connection to the screen will have to pass by the graphics card. Whereas if you replace the bad graphics card, don't.

I want to use the full width of my screen at any time.
Menu bars are full-width but the content is not, in fact it is about 1/2 possible width.
I bought a large wide screen to use it without having to increase the size of all fonts.Many sites Web uses a fixed width layout and do not automatically expand to fill the available space. It is perhaps for aesthetic reasons or for readability (it is more difficult for your brain to long strings).
Firefox is not a built-in feature to change the layout, but there could be an add-on that does this.
I understand that you do not want to increase the font size, but... Firefox zoom feature also expands the page layout and the image proportionally in order to preserve the overall design of the site. This article describes this feature in detail: the font size and zoom - increase the size of the web pages.
If you find that you are constantly zooming all the sites by a comparable amount, there are modules, that you can use to set it as your default zoom level. For example:
