Question

I could be misremembering this, but when using 'Depends on mouse pointer position' wasn't there a hotkey [like holding Opt + Shft + BrightnessButton] that could temporarily change the dimming function from only affecting the single screen under the mouse to instead dim all screens simultaneously. Could have sworn, but also not sure.

*For reference I'm referring to the setting in:
[Preferences/Keyboard/Screen to control/...]

You can hold Control to adjust the built-in screen and Control+Command to adjust all external screens. These are the two special hotkeys you can use (with native Apple keyboard keys).
