Description

I really appreciate all of the Alfred Workflows that you’ve made and shared with the community. This workflow is able to change the built-in screen on my Macbook and iMac, but it can't change the brightness on my third-party external monitor.

Fortunately, I know of a tool that can change the brightness of external monitors: https://github.com/Bensge/NativeDisplayBrightness (brew cask install nativedisplaybrightness). Would you have any interest in modifying alfred-brightness to also send signals to nativedisplaybrightness?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing alfred brightness workflow code to see how it changes built in display brightness, then add a call to the NativeDisplayBrightness command line tool for external monitors.
