Stupid lil script generated by Claude which I find useful.

While I have monitor sleep setup to a low timeout, I just don't trust windows. I've seen my screen not go into sleep too many times before I got my OLED to trust it will do so every time.
I also find it useful when gaming on 1 screen, and not actively using my second monitor.

Requirements:
Autohotkey V2 (Maybe V1 too?)

How to use:
Tap "INS" key once for Display2.
Tap "INS" key twice for Display1.
Tap "INS" key 3 times for both.
Tap "INS" again to remove.

You have a 1 second period to finish your input before it activates.
It also disables the "INS" key in windows (who uses that anyway).

Adjustables are at the top of the script and includes the ability to choose whether black overlay or brightness should enable (per monitor) as well as what brightness setting to set to when activated.
Once disabled, all brightness settings reverted.

Want any changes? Run it through AI 😁
