Searched for existing issues

Hi, first want to say I absolutely love this app, it's super well designed and makes my dual monitor system work so well together.

I have set the monitors to change brightness together based on the "Change for all screens" settings, which works perfectly to allow me to make quick adjustments. However, sometimes I want to dim one monitor more than the other, as they don't have similar brightness curves.

I know when Screen to control is set to "depends on mouse position" you get the behavior, but then have to use Ctrl+⌘+Brightness to adjust all displays. I'd basically like to reverse that option, and have the default brightness keys adjust brightness on all displays, but then Ctrl+Brightness adjust the display the mouse is on.

Thanks for your time, love the app!

Describe the solution you'd like

Ability to use Ctrl + Brightness to adjust the brightness when "Change for all screens" is selected (or all the time).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Any other modifier key would also totally work, but Ctrl is the behavior Apple uses on supported monitors.

Anything else?
