Distinguish between Magic Keyboard and built in keyboard inputs

Open Converseallstar95 opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

I was wondering if it was possible to distinguish between the two keyboard inputs, so that the MonitorControl app can incorporate different displays being controlled only by specific keyboards (external display/magic keyboard & laptop display/built in keyboard).

Thanks, I didn't;t know if I should have posted this question in your fork or the original repo from nhurden.

Hi @Converseallstar95

I'm not sure if this is possible, though I'd rather just implement the ability to fully customise shortcuts and perhaps allow users to set a shortcut to control different displays or something. Detecting different keyboards seems a little bit overkill imo.

That's just my opinion on it though.

Thanks for the info! Yeah I believe that v4 of MonitorControl will add modifier keys for different display, I was just asking because the Apple Thunderbolt Displays work as I described previously, and I'm moving from those. No problem, thanks anyway!
