A simplified version of the0neyouseeks MonitorControl, which is restricted on changing the volume directly of external screens from a menulet or with keyboard native keys. By removing unnecessary polling I achieved a nearly 0 percent CPU usage!
If you need to run the application on startup, please use the manual way (Settings --> Users and Groups)
Bonus: Using keyboard keys display the native osd :
Precompiled binary, ready to use: Releases
Open issues if you have a question, an enhancement to suggest or a bug you've found. If you want you can fork the code yourself and submit a pull request to improve the app.
Please note: I primarily did all modifications for my own use. So don't expect too much extra work from me ;-)
