How do one re-enable the screen with no screen?

[Tharayman]

Here is what happened:
I connect external display and then disable built-in display. I then unplug external display. I now have no displays, even if i re-plug external display! Had to reboot my MBP to get display working again. Should be some keyboard functionality to re-enable screen I think?

I also had this issue just now.

When all external monitors are unplugged, the main display should automatically turn on.

I have the same issue. In addition if my MB Air goes to sleep with a monitor plugged in and built-in LCD disabled, I can't get either display to restart without rebooting. On Sierra 10.12.1
(I use Caffeine now to prevent MB from sleeping)

+1 @k1sul1 Automatic re-enabling of the default display when others are disconnected should be default behaviour IMO
