Native Windows brightness buttons + holding option for Monitorian #455

Originally posted by **TomasReed** May 1, 2023 While hotkeys are okay solution, I wish there was a way to use native brightness controls buttons in Windows. I have them in my keyboard and I assume many people also do. While I can setup them via Logitech app to press the exact shortcut I've put into app settings, it would be nice to use it without this workaround. I also would like to be able to just hold brightness Up / Down button for a time period to be able to switch more than just one step at press (basically the same as Windows handles sound) I've subscribed to your app and wish you a good day :)

As I repeatedly explained, such hardware keys cannot be captured by a third party app. Let your keyboard to send a hot keys, if possible, then this app can respond.

Press and hold a hot keys to send repeating key inputs shall work. What is your key combination? How about the default hot keys (Ctrl + Alt + Right)?
