Shortcut to dim "Other displays" #3076

I would love to have a shortcut (like Shift+BrightnessDown) to dim all other displays.

My use case is that when I watch a movie full screen, I like to turn off my other screens.

Thanks in advance

Huhh. The problem is that most of the modifier keys are occupied already (for example: SHIFT+brightness will change the current screen brightness while NOT changing other screens' brightness when syncing is enabled). But will think about what other modifier combos is there to use for this lol.

It's gonna be Shift + Command + brightness up/down (native). This is rather comfortable to use, you can use the right shift and command keys with your right hands and the brightness up/down with the left.

This is something that I'll use frequently as well since I am using a three display setup but when watching something I also dim the left and right displays, it's much faster this way. :)
