Seems to be working fine here, could you provide some more info? (MonitorControl, macOS, keyboard, ...)

The more information the higher the probability of tracking down the issue.

  • MonitorControl 2.0.0 (build 640)
  • macOS Catalina 10.15.4 (19E287)
  • Keyboard: ErgoDox Infinity with QMK firmware. Keys send proper media key presses and Opt/Shift are definitely registered.
  • Display: LG 31MU97 connected over DisplayPort

Additional note: Brightness does change at smaller increments when Opt+Shift is pressed.

I do not have any issue with Option + Shift (smaller increments) but I do have this issue for Shift (sound effect while changing volume).

The expected behavior when holding Shift and pressing volume keys is for a small sound effect to play. There is a setting for the volume key to always make this sound effect, in which case holding Shift inverts the setting and doesn't play the sound effect.

For me, the sound effect plays when the setting for it to play by default is checked; when that setting is not checked, holding Shift does not play the sound effect.

  • MonitorControl 2.0.0 (build 640)
  • macOS Catalina 10.15.4 (Macbook Pro 2016)
  • Keyboard: built-in and external.
  • Display: Acer HD R240HY

Thank you!

I'm going to mark this as a monitor issue for now as it works fine for most people (I think), if anyone else runs into this, please post here and provide detailed information about your setup (monitor, mac, macOS version, ...).

@zsiegel92 I can confirm this, can you open a separate issue for this?
