[Beta release] NativeDisplayBrightness 0.0.5 testing [updated]

[funbben]

According to what I read about MonitorControl, you should try the previous version 1.0
In version 1.1, the key has been changed to be mapped to original Apple Keyboard, but it was previously set to F1 and F2.

Good luck with learning swift

I noticed your post since I was looking for an alternative to NativeDisplayBrightness, which uses the default buttons for brightness adjustment on original Apple Keyboards. You state that MonitorControl uses the native Apple keys in version 1.2, however I can only find version 1.1 on MonitorControl's Github repo. Am I missing something?

Sorry, my mistake, I corrected my post with proper version. You can also check the issue page this is where I learn that the key has been changed with previous version

v1.1

• set any key from F1 to F20 to any action.
• UI fixes, minor bug fixes

https://github.com/KAMIKAZEUA/NativeDisplayBrightness/releases/tag/v1.1

For now, that like most big changes I've done for this app. I don't have other monitor to improve multi monitor features, also monitor with speakers. So I can't work on these features. Any bugs if found - will be fixed. Thanks everybody.

p.s. I'm thinking - should I maybe create a new topic here? Well, it's whatever for me, but it's a really like different app now with my changes.. any admins reads this? Can you clarify me pls.

Thanks a lot for your update. Now I am able to use the brightness keys as they should.

Use for the decrease key f19 and for the increase key f20. Then use karabiner elements; under the preferences in tab Function Keys use instead the brightness keys the keys f19 and f20. It works as it should be.

Is @wern's patch for the Apple Keyboard still supposed to work on High Sierra, because it doesn't seem to do anything for me? I still have to press Fn even when the patch is enabled.

It still works on High Sierra. Have you set the InfoPlistPatch to true?

<key>InfoPlistPatch</key>
                <true/>

 

[reitermarkus]

I have tried with both true and false, but it doesn't work either way.

It should be "true". Use a plist editor, maybe the the base 64 to hex conversion is not right.
If it still does't work make a screenshot of the HIDKeyboard part with the FnFunctionUsageMap and ProductID.
