@soundwaves7 hello,

This is intentional addition (contribution by one of the users) in https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/releases/tag/v0.100

CTR+M1/M2 change screen brightness (if it's supported)
SHIFT+M1/M2 change backlight brightness

Why do you want to disable this feature?

[seerge]

@soundwaves7 this build should also allow to change screen brightness correctly on TUF models from Ctrl+M1/M2

Hi @seerge, On my TUF F15, Shift+M1/M2 (Shirt+FnF2/F3) changes the keyboard backlight just fine, but brightness doesn't work quite right with Ctrl+M1/M2.

On v0.103, it was working fine, just that the buttons were opposite (M1/Fn+F2 was brightness+ and M2/Fn+F3 was brightness-).
(this is not the case for Shift+M hotkeys)

And on the linked build, M1 is still increasing the brightness, but it seems to go to 90% then goes back down to 80% and repeat, same deal with M2 where it is able to decrease brightness to 10% then goes back up to 20% and repeat

Here's the log of all the button spamming but I dont know if it'll be of much help

@thepriyamkalra as far as i remember you had brightness controls swapped also for fn-lock case, correct?

[thepriyamkalra]

@seerge Yup, and now the fn-lock brightness controls are also showing the same behavior.

@thepriyamkalra

This should be fine (i hope)

Is there a way to disable the ctrl and shift binding, it conflicts with a binding i have on my mouse
Most of the time i change volume using my mouse while working with figma, photoshop etc.. or in a game and while holding the shift or ctrl keys so if possible can these bindings be disabled fo g helper?

@soundwaves7 add

"skip_hotkeys":1, to config.json and and restart start app after that :)

@thepriyamkalra

This should be fine (i hope)

Okay so now the M1/M2 keys work consistently, but they are still swapped, so M1 is brightness+ and M2 is brightness-
and the function keys have just stopped doing anything with FnLock on.

PS: Let me know if I should move this to separate issue

[seerge]

@thepriyamkalra yes, please do with a log :) cause it mixes up all things ...

[seerge]

@thepriyamkalra just to be safe : uploading here latest build (in case i messed things up by trying to solve other issue here)
