How can I assign a keyboard shortcut to increase/decrease the brightness of both my monitors?
Jan 22
I'm using a desktop PC with Windows 11 Home (22H2). I like operating my PC using keyboard shortcuts. I have used AutoHotkey (AHK) to control several things, such as increasing/decreasing the volume (Win + F11/F12, moving to the next multimedia track (Win + F9), etc.
However, I do not know how to assign a keyboard shortcut to increase/decrease the brightness of my monitors at will. For now, I'm using a simple, but powerful, tool called Monitorian to do that. It works fine, but I would like to achieve the same result using keyboard shortcuts, e.g., by pressing Win + F1/F2.
Is there a way to do this?
I will accept any answer no matter if it uses the default Windows or a third-party tool (AutoHotkey or other) as long as the result is the intended one. Important: I'm using two monitors and I would like to control the brightness of both monitors with the same keyboard shortcut.

You should be able to accomplish this with AutoHotKey and NirSoft's ControlMyMonitor.exe.
