First of all, thank you very much for this software! 😍

CMD + F1 to alternate between mirror desktop or extended desktop stop working after install MonitorControl.
There are some way to configure MonitorControl default keys to prevent override "CMD + F1" keyboard shortcut ????

The problem here is that MediaKeyTap internally uses a .defaultTap, which doesn't allow passthrough of MediaKey events.

We can solve this by using the .listenOnly option instead, but then we'd run into issues like displaying the HUD 2x and a bunch of other stuff because the default macOS brightness and volume actions would pass through.

I'm not sure how we could go about implementing this right away, but it might be possible.

We could catch F1+BrightnessDown and induce mirroring using CGConfigureDisplayMirrorOfDisplay() ourselves.

I added this in 3.1.0. I had to implement the feature programmaticaly as I could not figure out how to kick in the original implementation of the OS. To me it seems to work the same way as the original but testing will be needed.
