Before opening the issue, have you...?

Searched for existing issues
Looked through the wiki
Updated MonitorControl to the latest version (if applicable)

Describe the bug

While having the Keyboard settings set to Default for brightness it changes the brightness not only on those dedicated brighter/darker keys (behind F1/F2) on an Apple keyboard, but also on regular F14 and F15.

Alternatively when I try to set the Keyboard settings to custom for brightness, I can't set "brigher" or "darker" respectively as the desired button for this. (It is just ignored).

I'd like to change the brightness with the brightness keys, but I want to be able to use F13-F15 for myself.

Steps to reproduce

Change keyboard settings to default for brightness
Press F14/F15

Alternatively:

Change keyboard settings to custom for brightness
Try to press the brighter/darker keys, without the function key. It should explicitly NOT be F1 or F2.

Expected behavior

I would expect that I can change the brightness with those dedicated keys by default and not also with F14/F15.

I would also expect that I can set the brigher/darker key as a shortcut for the custom set.

Anything else?

No response

No thanks. That fixed it.
(I looked for something like that, but it was hidden behind the Advanced Settings toggle I didn't know about.)

Thanks! ^_^
