Compatibility with MonitorControl

[JonasGessner]

Hi Andrea, this is a really nice tool and first of all thanks for open sourcing it!

I am also using a different tool called MonitorControl that allows me to use the volume keys to control the volume of my monitor, and sadly these two tools do not work together.

Depending on the order in which both tools are launched, either iTunes Volume Control does not do anything, or iTunes Volume Control works for AirPlay volume, but the non-airplay volume (which should control the monitor volume through MonitorControl) gets stuck at 0%.

I am hoping that there is some easy way to make these two work together?

Thanks,
Jonas

This is not really a fix, but I forked MonitorControl and simply added the functionality of iTunes Volume Control into MonitorControl: https://github.com/JonasGessner/MonitorControl/tree/music-control

Great. I am very glad if you could import features from iTunes Volume Control to Monitor Control. I am not sure why there is a conflict. I suspect that we could have fixed it by changing iTunes Volume Control. My app listens to events such volume keys pressed etc. What keys are used by MonitorControl (in the original version)? I don't understand why there is a conflict. I will be able to test it once I am on a screen where I can change its brightness.
