Before opening the issue, have you...?

Searched for existing issues

Right now if I want to adjust the brightness on a particular screen, I have to select it with my mouse and increase the brightness with my keyboard shortcut F something.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to select the screen with a shortcut and increase the brightness, example I have the internal screen and 2 externals. The middle external is 1, the internal is 2 and the last external is 3.

Is there a shortcut where I can adjust the brightness if I press maybe FN + 1 + brightness up for screen 1 etc? If not do you think you could implement it?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Not sure.

Anything else?

This is a valid idea but as MonitorControl's feature set is now considered final, it is not planned to be implemented. I can add the feature to BetterDisplay if you are ok with moving this issue over to that repository.
