Description: I now use two Apple displays (LG Ultrafine) on my MacBook Pro, so I have three screens when I work. When I'm watching a movie, I'd like to quickly dim two of those screens with a keyboard shortcut.

Thanks again for the constant updates on this fantastic software! :)

Right, I can add that.

Note: if you are on Apple Silicon, you can now completely turn off the displays with the latest beta (+ there is a shortcut for turning off all but the main displays at once and a shortcut to turning them back on). I use this for movie watching. I'll also add a dedicated Movie Mode feature: #1325
