Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl/issues/249

I use an external keyboard, and I am unable to use F1 or F2 to change the brightness of the LG Ultrafine 4k monitor. The sliders work perfectly. I was unable to find a setting for assigning a custom keyboard shortcut to the application. Is there any default shortcut already assigned? I can remap the defaults using BetterTouchTool then. I was unable to find any info on the default shortcuts in the readme.

Ok. I found something. In BetterTouchTool, I can just set a shortcut for "Brightness Up/Down" and it works. It also works for "Volume Up/Down", but I wasn't able to find anything related to Contrast. So having a shortcut in the app itself to assign custom keyboard shortcuts to contrast would be nice.
