No, because HDMI, DVI, VGA, and DisplayPort do not carry keyboard and mouse signals and those cables/protocols also do not have the equivalent of focus() to steal the input.
You need a KVM switch.
Unfortunately DisplayPort KVM switches tend to be expensive.
And if you're already using a cheaper KVM switch for keyboard and mouse, then you really are stuck using the button on the monitor for switching video.
