Monitorcontrol: F1 and F2 become overridden when MonitorControl is running

[Amir-Hass]

Hello,
Thank you for your continued development of the program. I like that I can finally edit both monitor's brightness at the same time correctly. However, when MonitorControl is running, I cannot click F1/F2 on my keyboard although in Karabenier-Elements I have it set to use the F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys. I have the tilde (`) key on my keyboard set to enable the function key as I do not have a physical one. Not sure if this is something that can be solved through MonitorControl or Karabenier. However, the issue does go away after quitting MonitorControl, although of course I lose the ability to easily control the brightness.

Hi @Amir-Hass ,

Right now this is intended behavior as the app listen for keys event on their keycodes directly and these are hardcoded. I will however look for a way to listen only when the fn (or whatever key you set as replacement) is pressed (and the other way around if you have enabled the setting Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys).

This should solve your issue 😄

This is exactly the issue which https://github.com/the0neyouseek/MediaKeyTap/pull/1 should fix.

This was fixed in https://github.com/the0neyouseek/MonitorControl/pull/29. @the0neyouseek, would be great if you could create a new release with it.

@the0neyouseek, ping.

Hi @the0neyouseek, the latest release v1.3.0 still overrides F1 and F2. Would really appreciate a new release with the fix #29. Thank you.

@the0neyouseek I'm trying to build master to have this fix, but I can't figure out how to get around the code signing :-( could you please make a build for this? Many thanks ❤️

@reitermarkus @gxfxyz @wmertens I'll have some time to work on this (finally) this week-end so I'll take a look 😄

@the0neyouseek this was merged in master one year ago. Please make new build with it to celebrate ))
