Before opening the issue, have you...?

Searched for existing issues

There is a feature to control both screens with control keys.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice to have this same control either with:

Common slide bar in the app menu
or Use the touch-bar brightness control for both screens

Describe alternatives you've considered

For now I use shortcuts.

Anything else?

Hi @didiermichel

If you are using v4.0.0, please select `Use combined slider for all displays' under Preferences/App menu/Multiple displays (the option is visible only if advanced settings are enabled):

If you wish the touch bar to control both the internal and external screens, you need to enable Sync brightness changes from Built-in and Apple displays under General.

Hope this solves the issue! Thank you!
