Separate shortcut for brightness of a particular display

Open simcc opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

So when using brightness linked...which I leave alone 80% of the time...sometimes I want to change only the brightness of the secondary display (usually to turn it off, but sometimes to dim it to barely visible)...would it be possible to add a shortcut for adjusting this? (Rather than have to go up to the slider).

Fantastic app by the way!

Edit: Another way of doing it would be maybe to have a few preset slots, so you could save all current levels as a preset, and then those could be recalled with shortcuts.

Edit: A shortcut to basically turn a particular display on/off would be handy too.

Edit: After thinking about it a bit more, the first idea I think would be most useful to the most amount of people...i.e. just being able to assign different shortcuts for brightness of each display.

Yes, this is certainly possible, but need some level of rework in how shortcuts are working. Input shortcuts are already display-assignabe, as a quick and dirty solution I could do something similar to brightness shortcuts (create maybe 3 slots so multiple display can be assigned), but it might generally be more useful to redo the entire concept of shortcuts and make it more dynamic. I'll think about it!

I add this one as a planned enhancement.
