Thank you very much for this amazing app! It provides so much value since I do not have to mess around with the poorly optimized monitor controls of my external display!!!

I noticed however that when an external display is connected I can only control the brightness of the external display and the internal display remains locked at fixed brightness. So in order to change the brightness of the internal display I have to go to system settings which is annoying.

Could you maybe also add the internal Display to the List of Monitors?

In an optimal world I could then use the brightness control keys on my mac to simultaneously dim or brighten both of my displays.

Wow okay I realized my issue is because of screen mirroring being turned on and therefore this issue is a copy of https://github.com/the0neyouseek/MonitorControl/issues/217
