Add internal display brightness slider to menulet

[shamilovtim]

I recall back when I had a Thunderbolt Display when it was plugged in the Macbook's brightness keys would control only the Macbook while my external keyboard controlled the external monitor's brightness. Is that possible to replicate?

Additionally 2 separate brightness controls in the menubar application would be a godsend.

Thanks for considering

v2.0.0 Adds support for internal display brightness controlling. You can use ctrl + brightness to control only the internal display or configure it in the display settings with the enabled checkbox.

I agree that adding the internal display to the menulet would be a good thing to have now that we have internal display control.

What about having the macbook's brightness keys control its own brightness? E.g. 2 separate keyboards

Also separate note: might want to elucidate that shortcut and any others in a quick textbox on the first screen of the app?

I'm not 100% sure but I doubt that's possible with the current implementation.

Agreed, but might be something for when we can finally get custom shortcuts implemented in the future.

Is that a stock macOS shortcut? Wonder what others I don't know about 🤔

It is possible to add a slider for the internal display as well (as an advanced option). I'd like to add Apple branded display support as well which uses the same APIs for control method as internal displays anyway.
