External keyboard does not trigger MonitorControl #1768

Description

@faximan

Before opening the issue, have you...?

  • Searched for existing issues
  • Looked through the wiki
  • Updated MonitorControl to the latest version (if applicable)

Describe the bug

I have MonitorControl set to use "Standard keyboard brightness keys" and "Screen to control" set to "Depends on mouse pointer position". But whatever I do, when I use the brightness keys on my external Apple wired keyboard, it is always the internal MacBook display that is changing brightness.

However, when I use the keys on the MacBook keyboard, everything works as expected and MonitorControl does its thing.

This is a somewhat new bug (maybe a few months?) It used to work well with the same hardware.

Steps to reproduce

Press brightness keys on external wired Apple extended keyboard while mouse pointer position is on the external display.

Expected behavior

Brightness is changed on external display. Actually happens: brightness is changed on Macbook internal display.

Anything else?

No response
