Checklist
Describe the bug
Occasionally the brightness buttons on my MacBook 15" (mid 2012) just ceases to respond. No overlay, no change in brightness. The only fix I've found is quitting MonitorControl. Note, this happens when there is no display connected.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
Being able to use by brightness buttons as normal while MonitorControl is running in the background
Additional context
This happens very spordically, and only occurs maybe twice a month or something. Is there anywhere I can read the logs to better troubleshoot/provide better debugging info?
Super appreciative of your work! I think MonitorControl is a fantastic tool 😄
Environment Information (please complete the following information):

This is not #282 is it?
@AlfHou commented on GitHub (Dec 28, 2020):
Hmm, it doesn't seem so. I tried with both
Secure Keyboard Entrytoggled on and off. I was still able to change brightness. To be clear, this bug only happens occasionally. I can use the brightness keys fine for days with the MonitorControl running in the background, then suddenly they stop working and I have to quit the program.I didn't see it described anywhere, but are there any logs I could look into?
@JoniVR commented on GitHub (Dec 28, 2020):
Do you happen to disconnect the Monitor in between when this happens? I have noticed that when you disconnect the monitor, you'll need to restart MonitorControl before it'll actually work again with the internal display, but I'm not sure if this is a related issue.

I have the same issue. Exact same cause, disconnecting all external monitors and leaving only the internal display. The brightness keys stop working, and need to quit MonitorControl to fix.
@jellybeaner101 commented on GitHub (Mar 6, 2021):
I now have the same issue. MontorControl has worked perfectly for years but now the brightness keys stop working intermittently.
I recently updated to the latest security patch for 10.14.6 (2021-002). Not sure if its related but I didn't have the problem before the update.

Hi all, can you please try the latest 3.0.0 release and see if this is still a problem? Thank you!
@waydabber commented on GitHub (Aug 25, 2021):
I'll close this issue for now but please feel free to comment if there is anything we can do. If the issue persists, we can reopen this issue! Thank you!
