Before opening the issue, have you...?
Describe the bug
Everything was working fine for many months.
Last night I restarted (no macOS update, AFAIK), and now the "Depends on mouse pointer position" stopped working - regardless of where my mouse pointer is, when I use the keyboard brightness keys, MonitorControl changes brightness only on the built-in monitor.
Steps to reproduce
- Put mouse pointer on external monitor
- Tap brightness keys on keyboard
- Observe that brightness changes only on the built in monitor
Expected behavior
The external monitor brightness should change when the mouse pointer is on the external monitor
Anything else?
I tried resetting all settings on MonitorControl - that made no difference.
I tried unplugging and reconnecting the external monitor - made no difference.
Environment Information (please complete the following information)
- macOS version: 26.3
- Mac model: MacBook Air M4
- MonitorControl version: 4.3.3 build 7123
- Monitor(s): Built-in (of course!) and HP Z32k G3
- Apple Silicon/M1 (yes or no): Yes
