Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Not sure if this is a little bug or if it's just not coded in to the Asus system or G-Helper.
I have M3 and M5 set to Brightness Down / Brightness Up respectively. When I hold M3 to make it lower screen brightness, it only does it once.
Same with M5 to increase monitor brightness.

If I put those 2 commands as M1 and M2, they work fine and we can increase/decrease by just holding M1/M2.
I'm forced to use M3/M5 due to this.

Describe the solution you'd like

Holding M3 and M5 keys should repeat the command.

@RamseyKal hello,

This is how firmware is programmed.

M3, M5 in your case emit a special keycode that G-Helper can intercept (and run corresponding action). But they do it once per press.

M1, M2 - just emit volume control media keys on firmware level (we have discussed this with you before) - so they just keep spamming those while you keep key pressed. G-Helper can intercept them as well, and run corresponding command again :) But since here key spams - action also keep repeating.

I think you mean M3, M5, M1, M2, right :)?

F keys are very different for me and they do repeat commands. I am not referring to F keys for this request though.

"F1, F2 - just emit volume control media keys on firmware level (we have discussed this with you before)"
Yes, sadly :(. But, when I use Armoury Crate M1 M2 being screen brightness down/up work fine with my Logitech mouse (as in the other issue), so something is off when we remove Armoury Crate and use G-Helper, but that's for the other issue mentioned.

@RamseyKal yes, sorry, i meant M-keys

But back to your question - as we discussed in other issue. AC has some proprietary way to rebind keys on firmware level (so they just start emitting codes directly), while G-Helper doesn't do that and just intercepts key-presses and runs new command by itself.

I did some reverse-engineering in this regard, and it should be possible to rebind keys on firmware level, but I need some time to test it and check if it makes sense to revamp a whole thing.

That would be awesome and I would be available for testing if you need my help.
