Apple Script works only with physical keyboard connected (Mojave)

I'm trying to activate the Target Display Mode for my iMac (macOS 10.11) using SSH from my MacBook (macOS 10.14). I tried to execute the script via the terminal and Automator.app.
The script is:



osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to key code 144 using command down'


However, the script only works when my iMac is connected to a physical keyboard. Is there any workaround for using the script without a connected keyboard?

          In R, how to develop a multiplot heatmap.2 figure showing key labels successfully
