UI Brightness Slider for the second screen?

[Jeremy9718]

Pretty much self explanatory. I've been using a python program that is linked to a second slider I added to the UI. I don't know how to really code so I cant exactly just make the feature myself and add it

@Jeremy9718 hello, why don't you just use https://twinkletray.com/ ? it can allow you control brightness on any internal and external monitor :)

[Jeremy9718]

@seerge regular brightness controls work without G-Helper, I don't know if any asus services are running. Pressing the other keybinds you mentioned do not do anything either.

@Jeremy9718 I see, then looks like default brightness keys work on hardware level, that's why app is not getting notified about key-press here (and therefore can't adjust second screen brightness when SHIFT is pressed along)

Can you try CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + F7/F8 instead ? (with G-Helper running of course) ?

[Jeremy9718]

@seerge So those keybinds don't work, however I found out by accident that
CTRL+ ALT + SHIFT + FN + F7/F8 change the brightness of the second screen. Would there maybe be a way I could use G-Helper to limit the amount of keys I would need to press at once?

[seerge]

@Jeremy9718 most likely you have FN-Lock enabled current, right ? That means that F-keys perform their secondary action by default (i.e. backlight control, mute, etc).

That's why you need to press FN+F7 to emit a regular F7 key. And that's why it's CTRL+ ALT + SHIFT + FN + F7/F8. With FN-Lock turned off - it would be just what I have linked :)

@Jeremy9718 and, yes, you can replace CTRL + ALT + SHIFT modifier with something else. You can do it as explained in power user settings https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/wiki/Power-user-settings#keybinding-modifier-keys
