Feature request: remote control follows displayed zone

I have my RPi set up with a display, and I like being able to switch between zones directly on the screen. I also have a remote connected to the same RPi. Is it possible to add a feature where the zone controlled by the remote follows (ie, is the same as) the zone that is being shown and controlled on the display?

@Peter_Bevan
That feature is already integrated. Tap in the display on the name of the zone, and you can choose a different zone.
Kind regards, Frank.

@Frank_M What you reference only changes the “display” control zone not the “OSMC/FLIRC” remote control zone.

What he is asking is for the “OSMC/FLIRC” remote control zone to follow the “Display” control zone setting.

Or maybe an option to have this happen?

Either a toggle on the settings page of the display to “sync” the display and remote control zones or a toggle in the webui to have it sync? Or a “remote” icon on the display for the remote so you can select the remote control zone similar to how the display control zone is changed?

This is actually a good idea… I think. Let me ponder on it.

But it should definitely behind a switch, like @bearFNF suggests, because I can imagine that this is something not everyone wants.

“Follow display zone” or something like that.

That makes a lot of sense. Agree that individual setups might be better one way or the other. Look forward to learning if it’s possible!
